Name That Plant

Unread postby NorthStar » Sun Dec 05, 2021 11:43 am

I found this when scouting some public river bottoms. It’s was just loaded with this green plant and there was deer crap everywhere. Based on the sign, looked like a great food source during rut. It was growing in a low bowl shaped area that I am guessing normally holds water in a non drought year.

looks like arrow root to me but it is hard to tell from the pictures.

Interesting! Does anyone have any experience with deer feeding on chickweed? Do they like it during certain times of the year?
