    What did people do before we had all of these convenient chemicals?

    It's widely reported that the decline of game birds (quail and pheasants in this state) is the direct result of habitat loss.

    Habitat loss is clean farming. Clean farming is plowing under everything every year and spraying chemicals on everything else. The loss of fence line vegetation (chemical sprays) is one factor in the huge decline of upland game birds.

    I know this shit because I used to hunt pheasant and quail a lot. In the 50-60's before we had chemicals and clean farming practices in Yakima Co, WA there used to be pheasants in every field, lots of pheasants. Now F&G has to plant pen raised pheasants every year. If they didn't there wouldn't be any birds to hunt.

    Just another downside to using chemicals to kill vegetation.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    If vines that kill my trees didn't exist I'd let all my shit get overgrown, I'm all about letting things be a bit "wild" for habitat but I just had to cut down two trees due to kudzu vine killing them. I don't know of any other "surefire" way to take care of this crap other than burning it or spending a lot of hours ripping it out.

    I've let my yards go sorta wild. (The deer and rabbits love it.)

    I take the scythe to 'em when it starts to bug me. When I'm in a particularly energetic mood I'll weed eat the sides of the concrete walk and trim the bushes.

    The Roundup only gets used (for the most part) on the gravel driveway.

    I worked for a while spraying trees under power lines. I got posion ivy really bad and started doing all the scout work. One of the guys who sprayed all summer started getting lumps about two years later. We were told it was a harmless chemical and you could drink it or spray it in a pond and it wouldnt bother the fish. 🙄

    All that you want?
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
