In my food plots? I didn’t plant this.

This has become prevalent in a few of my plots. Looks like it does get browsed a little. Any thoughts on what it is and value for critters?

It looks like pokeweed to me.

Yup that’s it thanks for identifying it for me. Any value with smartweed given looks to have been browsed a bit??

Ducks like it but it’s not a good fit in a food plot. It will totally take the plot over given time. I pull every bit of it I find...

I concur with Okie, I might wish that deer browse it, but haven't seen much evidence of it.
