I'm in process of converting a field that is largely reed canary grass into a food plot, screening, and some bedding. There is a chunk of this field next to the road that I want to keep open for access but free of anything desirable to deer to manipulate travel paths and to keep them away from my scent blowing in there from access/stand sites.
I was of the impression RCG could spread from rhizomes so thought it may be a good idea to try to get it replaced with something else. Is that a legitmate concern? If I just kept it mowed would that prevent it spreading into my screen and food plots?
If I were to remove it from RCG, what could I plant that would be undesirable to deer? Pollinators? I'll likely plant a few pumpkins or other with the wife/daughter in the future in this area. [Edit to clarify: I understand a pumpkin patch would be attractive to deer, just a handful would be planted.]
