Maggie’s Tree Killer

I’m a forester do this professionally. Active ingredient should be something with either glyphosate or tryclopyr. Cheap generic herbicide from TSC with this as an active ingredient works better. Roundup works on small acreages.

If more than an acre or 2 get the cheap shit from tsc.

Doesn’t have to be anything special for hack and squirt… just use one of the 2

Tryclopyr is slower to kill but stays in the tree longer than glyphosate

Need to either hack and squirt when leaf out or just before fall, that way the herbicide is transported throughout the stem. Fall everything is moved to the roots, spring/summer travels around the stem.

Sink a hatchet a few times into the tree, (I like one cut per 2 inches in diameter) larger diameter more hacks.

Use a squirt bottle into the open wounds. You’ll need to get a recipe, like reloading what works for me may not be legal/work for you.

If you plan to girdle, make 2 rings/cut about about a an inch 2 inches apart, Cut through the bark into the cambium. You’ll don’t have to remove the bark/cambium between cuts, as that section between cuts does it acts like a tourniquet but blocking float/sieve cells stopping water/sugar movement in the tree. Works better on hardwoods.

YMMV

Become a Canuck

it isn't a huge amount of land, but would set a precedent, and not sure if one of the owners would be able to sell if they needed?
of course, they might just be looking for a payoff.

It will be just a start. I suspect this will get quashed on appeal. And, no, it would be impossible to sell a home when you are no longer the legal owner 😅

Ridgeline LPR vs Seekins SP223


Interesting read: the GunsAmerica piece on rail rigidity measures flex and actually puts some numbers behind common systems, including Seekins. Was taking a quick look at the new DD SPR iii but im not going to spend more $ to get a less efficient system.

To be clear, my intent with this thread isn’t to debate laser mounting or just avoid a “bendy-boy” rail, it’s exactly what @JR1200W3 brought up: positional POI shift. I’m building a comp rifle and my goal is to minimize any positional shift.

If Ridgeline had their kits in stock I’d probably try one just to test it out.. but they’re not available right now (kits or rifles).
