Question for the Campfire Intelligentsia. The ranch I hunt has sagebrush encroaching on some of the roads. Getting to the point where it leaves some scratches on the paint. I'm thinking about taking along a hedge trimmer or a weedeater or some other contraption to hack it back some. I don't want to waste too much time or energy so what do you think is the best option?

Just drive on through it!
I never worried about the paint. It's hunting for God sake!

Go through in the spring with a sprayer loaded with 2-4-D. Does a great job.

A sling blade or a grubbing hoe.

Cut it and sell it to the college town hipster shops as smudge sticks to cover up the weed smoke. They’ll pay a premium for the purple sage!

Wait for a good drought and then burn it Problem is, unintended acres may burn. And if you set fire and it burns onto other land you could have a problem.
