Depends on what else is there to eat. Our goats (Boers/Spanish crosses) clean out poison hemlock nicely and have no ill effects as long as they have other things to eat as well. I’d check with someone who runs goats in the area to see if it is a real problem for them before ruling goats out. That said, if you are just clearing trails and a range, goats are unlikely to be the best tool for the job. I’ve got an 84” Gearmore flail mower on the back on a TN-90 that is the bomb for that kind of thing. It’ll pulverize up to a two or three inch oak sapling and makes short work of clearing roads or paths. | |||

From what I've read so far it will kill goats. Deer will eat it as a last resort, not as a main food. I think I'll get the blade for my trimmer and see how that goes. It would be the easiest thing to get back on my land. It's rough terrain getting to where I need to go so any type of mower type thing would be a ton of work. These go to eleven. | |||

If it is a member of the rhododendron family it will grow back and each cutting will sprout multiple new shoots. For the heck of it, dig one out, roots and all, and you might be surprised at the burl like part just under the soil if it is anything like a true rhododendron. They make interesting pieces of wood with unique patterns in the wood. --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective....

Another guess for mountain laurel. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Typical forest understory plant of which I have as well on my property, actually I like the flowering native plant. I imagine if you do eliminate it something else will take over and unless you leave that it seems like you'll be forever weed eating your woods. What about just cutting enough of it back to clear a trail? That's what I did years ago, cut out some rhododendron to create a walking trail along a creek on the property. The rest I left.  No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I have two long fence lines of cane that I have to keep in check by cutting it back whenever it starts to spread out. A weedeater with the blade attachment is my go to tool. It works like a charm.
