My wife and I were just down there this past Saturday through Monday for our anniversary. That under story is so thick it’s gotta be hard to hunt that place. Did see two big toms though.

I might quit putting in for that hunt if they don’t get something done soon.

Did you eat a restaurant if so how was it? We did eat there Saturday night and it was pretty good overall. Wife had the tenderloin and I had the chicken tender dinner.

Most of the parks are getting taken over by autumn olive or whatever the stuff is actually called. The stuff is just terribly hard to kill off and we just don't have enough staff to remove it.

I’ve had several conversations with the staff at Clifty about that autumn olive. It’s definitely unfortunate that they’re under staffed making it hard to eradicate it. I’ve been hunting that park for around 15 years and the changes I’ve seen back in those woods is sickening!! It won’t be long and that park will be a complete mess!

I talked to the lady there and volunteered my time to help them spray it. Never got a phone call.

Mini excavator with a mechanical thumb over the winter and a gigantic burn pile does the trick though.

There’s ways to get rid of it, but as in anything...it costs money that the State will claim they don’t have!!

Spraying works if you use the right stuff. Things that you need an applicators license to purchase.

I thought it was bush honeysuckle, but yeah it is taking over parts of clifty and fort ben for sure. I hunted it at fort ben a couple different years, hard to get a shot but the deer were in and out of it all day long.

That Asian Honeysuckle is one nasty invasive bush-tree. It's not even that popular to the honeybees. I've seen the girls on them, but not much. Not top on the list. All the foraging honeybees are female worker honeybees.
