jperch Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 My experience is that any place where jewel weed grows well there is ample poison ivy beside it to keep it company. jperch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurtleFace Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Agreed. If and when you get a rash from the ivy, split the jewel weed down the center and rub it on to relieve the worst of the itching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yes they do love it and poison ivy also poke weed...I am always thrilled to see poke weed popping up in any areas or plots...the deer prefer it to the plots!...note the Northeast and Midwest plants deer like I think guys would have a much easier time scouting if they read more on wild plants then some deer stuff https://www.qdma.com/know-native-deer-foods/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I found a new plant in the swamp the other day...this is a good read on it an shows how one plant can be mistaken for another...deer love this too and they grow together..

LET EM GROW Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Jewel weed for sure. I asked the same question this summer to my habitat buddy. My deer love it as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
