RE: Tentacles of Death!
I know exactly what you are talking about. One of my favorite archery stands here in Pa.is surrounded by these vines, along with a mix of greenbriers. Its a complete circle of this junk, but only about 8 feet deep. I use my limb cutters and tree saw early in fall to cut an entry point and return frequently before hunting season to keep the path open. It seems this stuff grows almost overnight. Some vines are 1" thick with thorns that don't break loose. Even with a path cut through this mess I still will sometimes get hung up in the tangle of thorns if I'm in a hurry, but once inside the maze, its a super hunting spot.
