Invasive Honeysuckle

A few days ago I was on a project in the Ozarks of Howell County Missouri to improve quail habitat along a wooded edge. Woodland thinning for wildlife had been done some time earlier and the presence of Japanese Honeysuckle was more than likely overlooked (an easy thing to do, especially in the summer when a small amount blends into the landscape). Now, the honeysuckle has had an explosion of growth due to all the newly available light, and control is needed to provide optimal edge habitat for quail.
