I just cut roads and they are covered in poke. Deer are eating the heck out of it.

I also have kudzu, deer eat it but not fast enough!

Well I looked up milkweed and #1 aint it. Thats what Ive always called but that certainly isnt it.

Oh, yeah, do deer eat fireweed? I'm guessing no since I have so much.

I agree. Plus resident outdoor writers are no where to be found here.

2nd is poplar sprouts.

Yep I agree. Fireweed (also known as American Burnweed) is a native species but is low on the preference list for deer. I've actually never seen deer utliize it at all.

#1 might be sow thistle but I could be wrong.

#2 is not kudzu, could be some type of wild ivy.

#3 is definitely pokeweed.
