Anyone know what this is?

Palmetto? :D

Background is Palmetto but not the 4 or 5 leaves in center. Seen it before but no idea what it's called.

Is it a vine? If so, its either ladies ear drops also called redvine (Brunnichia cirrhosa) or crossvine (Bignonia capreolata). Looks more like crossvine. Most vines are preferred deer browse (even poison ivy)

X2.. Have a lot of that stuff on my place..

synthetic weed??

It is a vine. Does it cause contact dermititis like poison ivy?

Never heard of anyone being allergic to it

Thanks. Trying to figure out what eats me up in the woods.

Red bugs?

No. It is contact dermititis which is from something like poison ivy

coonass tobacco?

Have you been around a fire where they are using wood that could have a poison ivy on it? That could cause your itching.

No sir Gerald. It is some kind of vine I am sure.

Are you sure you haven't run across poison ivy? Most of the big vines on the oaks out there are poison ivy and just from contact on the vine and not the leaves can get you.

Could be. Is there a way to identify the vines?

I've got it bad from vines even after hard freeze... Thought it died off, leaves were gone. Nope, that oil is still potent up in there!

Them vines that look like they old? That poison ivy? Like the dark colored ones? They may answer my questions 2 my buddy said that ain't what that is but when I get it, it's not like a poison ivy I get from the leaves or usual suspect its closer to skin and more like just red swole n itchy not bumps and doesn't spread. I'm the same way can't figure it out thought it was chiggers then got into chiggers that ain't it now I'm dumbfounded and just hunt boxes don't get in trees or go into thickets and problem solved

Mark the location on your GPS and come back in the spring and take pictures of the leaves on the vine. Post the pic. and we will identify vine for you.

Some areas that I hunt, I walk through knee high poison Ive plants and I don't get it.

My wife has had poison a couple of times in the past several years. She never goes anywhere that there is poison Ive. She has to go to the doctor and get special treament to get rid of it. She blames me....go figure.

If it is the bigger vines, the leaves would be in the top of the tree correct?

The leaves would be gone this time of year, but the vine can get really large, it is almost 'hairy' in a sense and will have little stalks coming off it where the leaves were. It attaches to the tree and is hard to pull off the tree unlike some other vines like muscadine. The vine will eat you up. I would bet you climbed a tree or leaned against one. Its very common in Tensas.

eta: if there were leaves they would likely be a pretty red right now but they should be gone

I don't think they have any leaves when they go dormant in the winter.

That helps a lot. I try very hard to avoid trees with vines, but somehow still end up with it. Just trying to figure out what/how to avold it.

I get it bad bad, never have been able to prevent it.

When I get it and I have to itch, the best solution I have found is taking a blow dryer to the spot. It feels like it would if you could just scratch as hard as you can, that kinda "euphoric" scratch that you can feel down to the bone - but you don't have to touch it... And, once you get your fix, the nerve endings are disrupted from the heat and it gives good relief for a while. I almost wish I had poison ivy now just so I could take a blow dryer to it!!!

LMAO. I am in a tree hunting and laughed out loud
