Hunting Kudzu

[Wayne D Davis]

I'd hunt it hard early...... coming home from work about 7pm just before I crossed the Etowah river there's a big patch down off the side of 41 hwy... I counted 5 deer at a glance down in it

Why are you asking about hunting kudzu? It's everywhere and moves real slow.

Never seen it around here in barnwell, sc

Kudzu is absolutely awesome for deer and not so good for the hunter in general.
You have it growing an impassable death trap of a jungle year round and only worth hunting the first week of season then acorns are where to be. This year acorns are falling early around here but other years would be when I targeted kudzu but not this year.
Try it you might have the right spot at the right time... I’ll be in an oak dodging acorns.

Any pics of it? I've heard of it being an invasive plant species, but can't honestly identify it.

Is it reddish-purple on the stalk/trunk? I've found this plant getting destroyed during bow season.

Thats pokeberry you are speaking off. Kudzu looks like huge bean leaves on a vine that covers everything. Sometimes you will see trees, old houses, open areas road side completely covered. It looks similar to a running greenbean or soybean vine with three leaves to a stalk, but they are bigger with lobes.

Plus it smells good when it blooms.

My wife has made jelly from those blossoms.Just a novelty...not her best jelly.Like weak concord grape jelly.

Fellar said once that if kudzu had a leader it could take over the world!

Posts 27,28, That's a lot of Kudzu. Makes it look like Jurassic Park.

I live on a golf course between two holes. Two does and a fawn have been bedding in a kudzu patch right beside my house in a empty lot all summer. It provides excellent cover for them and they are constantly eating.
