Ok, seriously, nobody freak out on me over my questions.
Personally I have seen a lot of deer in the winter time browsing this stuff bigtime. When I was younger I hunted a huge stretch of timber, and by far the best place on the 600 acre chunk was a honeysuckle thickest. They bedded in it, and when snows were on, all you had to do was set up on the only green in the woods.
Fast forward to today... I now understand that everything that I was taught wasn't always good.
Therefore, why is honeysuckle so bad?
If I kill it, what replaces it that is so much better?
From what I've seen, it only tends to grow down in deep bottoms around here. The kind of places that don't get much light in the summer due to the hardwoods canopy. I guess in order for me to remove this stuff, the juice had better be worth the squeeze. I also do not want to remove it, only to find out that now nothing positive can or will grow due to the amount of shade it will receive.
