Beggar lice that is. I bet 3/4 of the place is covered with these lousy plants.

Is that what those things are called .... My property is loaded with them as well ... They are a huge PIA to get off your cloths .. Best way we have found is use a knife and shave them off. This woods has always had a few spots of them but this year they exploded everywhere.

Would a burn cure that or make it worse? Not sure. This woods is a creek bottom that usually floods a few times a year and this year i don't think it flooded at all. So that may be why this stuff went crazy

They are very annoying for sure.
Fun fact - a similar plant, burdock , is what gave a swiss inventor the idea to create hook&loop fastener better known as Velcro.

We call those burrs here.Find them in foxes tails occasionally.They comb out a lot easier than burdock. Dont set snares in a meadow where they grow.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
