Spraying Wild Honeysuckle
The Corps will try to spray that wild honeysuckle again this fall. If you are like me and love to bow hunt and fish in the fall you need to make sure you are not
in a cove that is one of the target areas.The Corps will post signs at the boat ramp and hunter parking areas where the spraying will take place. The Lake Shelbyville web site and facebook will have a map of the target areas.This is an aggressive exotic plant that is taking over around the lake and needs eradicated. Any further questions
contact the Environmental Stewardship Dept.@ Lake Shelbyville Project Office

I'm betting the" Wild" honeysuckle you are referring to is actually tartarian honeysuckle which is a non-native (exotic) invading species...We have had it in Missouri several years also..They have hundreds of red berries birds eat after a hard frost , pass, and unfortunately" plant" every where helping to spread it....It's very hard to control.

Yep sounds like the same stuff, all Iknow is that I don't want to get sprayed with "Rodeo herbicide"when I'm in a tree.
Thats what happened to our men in Nam.

Lets go soak a line. Pat
