What do you mean when you use the term “glyphosate”?
Filed under: Food Plots, Herbicide
I have a couple questions for you.
1. I am wondering if when you us the term Glyphosate if you are using straight Glyphosate or if you are using round up or some other herbicide that has Glyphosate in it on your food plots and trees? (When you use the hack and squirt method.) As I Googled Glyphosate and could not find 100% Glyphosate. I could only find it in Roundup and other herbicides.
2. I am also wondering as you said that Glyphosate will not kill certain trees if it will kill Oaks, Maples, Cherry trees and Hickory trees? As my friends and I are going to be doing some TSI work in WI.
3. My last question is when you planted some of your food plots in whitetail thicket were you using just whitetail thicket? As I can find it only in some of Eagle Seeds other soybean blends. And if you can not buy just whitetail thicket by itself at the moment, are they going to be selling it by itself as they are the Big Fellow and Large Lad varieties?
Thank you very much for your time and answers! Please keep the episodes coming I love them and have watched every single one of them, and have learned a ton! God Bless you and have a great New Year! I hope and pray that your Father can get over the cancer.

Joshua,
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup and the generic versions of Roundup. I typically purchase products that are 41% glyphosate.
41% Glyphosate doesn’t do a good job of controlling oaks or hickories. I haven’t tried it on cherries and maples. I doubt it will work well to control those hardwood species.
I begged the owners of Eagle Seed to allow me to try some pure Whitetail Thicket! I was very impressed with the results. I don’t believe they plan to make that available soon. I will be planting the Deer Manager’s blend this year as it includes the Whitetail Thicket variety!
Enjoy creation,
