I have a good bit of blackberry coming up in my old field areas. Not too much right now, but I can see that I will have to spray some of it next year. The deer seem to like bedding up against it. I was surprised to see very little browse pressure. It also looks different than the blackberry or dewberry I am used to in Louisiana. It turns out, this is Allegheny blackberry, and seems to be the most common blackberry species in a lot of areas. I wonder if any of you see this species isn't as preferred by deer as well? The species I'm used to are sawtooth blackberry and southern dewberry. Those seem to be preferred more.
