They are tearing up the pokeweed on my place. Since they logged its getting thick with green browse but the plots are brown or dirt in place but the natural browse from the logging is doing great. Here is a pic. Look at how green it is.

BSK,
How tall is your ragweed? I have giant ragweed that is 8 feet tall. I have not noticed any browsing, but it is located far from my deer habitat. Do you recommend mowing it to promote new growth?

Just dead brown grass and bare concrete-hard dirt. But my managed weed fields are doing great and showing little sign of drought damage, and the deer are absolutely pounding the ragweed and polk.
Does this native browse hold moisture better? I'm just wondering how much water the deer are actually drinking right now.
