Cut a little section of timber out now the jiggers are over taking the area any ideas cheap ideas to get rid of them was thinking a controlled burn maybe ? Very grateful to be a member on this site with all the info an knowledge I get from you guys thank you

Goats, if anyone you know has them. Goats will make quick work of a briar patch. Stake and move or fence

Burn rotation will keep it in check. Those briars aren't a bad thing unless they are too thick for you to enjoy your property.
The spring after your burn you can get in there and spray the problem areas with herbicide

What he said!

Yeah its gna be thick as thieves after spring if I don't do anything ....any good herbicides ya guys use know of?

Crossbow works on them. If you have a tractor supply they also sell a generic version I think is called big and tough. Eric

I put a mulching blade on my weed whacker and cleared a food plot with it. after doing that twice, they did not come back.

If you have livestock feed hay in the briar patch and they will help clear it. Eric

I once heard that if a person can figure out where the growing point is of the Brier it makes it easier to treat with an herbicide. But I could never really figure out what that meant.

I have eradicated Blackberry patches where the canes were 8ft tall.
It ain't easy but its a controlled way that won't kill everything in the area so that once the blackberries are gone then something else will take over.
I cut the canes just above ground level with a hand clipper and treat the stump with glyphosate at a 20-25% mix rate.
I do this in July, August or Sept.

"Briars"? you mean blackberries?
Crossbow, about the only thing that works on blackberries in my experience. Hit shortly after they start leafing out. Then once again when you see what you missed. Then probably once again the following spring for any stragglers.

I have a lot of Briars that aren't blackberries even though blackberries could be considered Briars

I guess I don't know what briars are then.

Around here it would be raspberries, multiflora roses, and some kind of a dang tree like shrub with what looks like needle sharp rose thorns. (not them long thorns like on a hawthorn or locust tree)

Greenbrier or smilac has a tuber like a potato. If you don’t remove it completely it will come back. Goats do a great job on controlling smilac.

I mow them with shredder, drop it on the ground.

Also found out that I can get the majority of berry vines with the teeth on the grapple, then dump them on a burn pile

Down here briars = green briar or bamboo briar
Then you have berry vines, multiflora rose and other vines with thorns

I’m guessing you’re not a rabbit hunter?

Is it Rosa laevigata (Cherokee Rose)?

If so, those are horrible. It grows in places around here. It creates impenetrable bushes if left long enough. You can’t walk through them, you simply can’t. The thorns will shred you and only one step below razor wire. If you use equipment to chop it down, the thick, woody stems left behind can puncture tires. When wildlife have a trail through it, you can hammer them with a bodygrip because the trail exit will look like a round hole.

I didn’t realize they were invasive until I just looked them up, but it definitely makes sense that it would be. Why someone would introduce that anywhere is something I’ll never understand.

crossbow and tordon for thicker trees

I plan to get a brush saw and to clean out a patch behind my house soon
