[QUOTE="Quailman, post: 3537489, member: 1952"] Skilletcreek, the best advice I can give you is to eradicate any and all privet you find on your property. Having worked with hundreds of landowner in the last 15 years, I would never recommned keeping privet on your property just to have an available, low-quality food source for deer. As I'm sure you know, Chinese privet (along with others), is a highly invasive species that is one of the most difficult plants we work with on a daily basis when trying to manage for wildlife. If a landowner has to rely on privet and other non-native species to provide food for deer, I would recommend they start making efforts to improve the quantity and quality of native plants to provide food and cover for wildlife. As nwsg76 mentioned, we have both NRCS and TWRA biologists available across TN to provide technical and financial assistance to landowners wanting to manage for wildlife. Just let us know and we'll be glad to help. [/QUOTE]
