Anyone mnow what this is? Tall, woody-ish stem that resists mowing but dut does cut with mower, stands about 3.-4 feet tall. Located in south central OK
Looking for ID of weed in forefront, not the back drop weeds.
I'm fairly certain that's Snow-on-the-prairie a.k.a Euphorbia bicolor. It's in the same family of plants as doveweed, though I don't know if it has any wildlife forage value.

The plant ID function only identified the background plants.
Because that’s what’s in focus. When you have your camera open, tap on what you want to focus on and it’ll adjust. Not trying to insult your technological knowledge, just fyi.

Looking that up, it appears that os the answer. All the way down to the milky sap that is an irritant. Deer resistant for sure, this stuff can take over my winter food plots in one area. I guess the seed bank is there in that one plot. Not a lot of benefit to the animals it appears. I need to do a better job of noxious weed control.
Have another plot that gets horsenettle real bad. Another very deer (animal) resistant weed.

I hear ya. I took the pic while mowing my plot down and didn’t take the time to see what was in focus or not. Didn’t bother to try to ID until after it was all mowed down. My fault for sure, and i tried to ID thru many sources online before i posted this.

Yep, I have tons of it. Nothing will eat it. (not even goats) If you have a lot of this and bee's and the bees frequent it ,it can make your honey irritate your throat and mouth..

Ive got a lot of it as well in the fields where 2 of my blinds are located..
Not only will nothing eat it, its very hard to get rid of as well.. its super resilient...
We cut it way back in the early summer.. and then hammer it again late summer (august)... and then have to cut it back one last time typically in mid September to keep it from obscuring the shooting lanes between the blinds and feeders.. its not super tall.. but tall enough to be a problem... but on one of our particular fields its super thick...
I have it only in one of my pastures, it has been really thick in the past, less so now. I have sprayed it in the past with gly, but it is still difficult to cut with a mower. I find the woody stems to be no problem though, if they get all cut up by the mower the plant is dead, so the stems will just eventually die off.
I let grow usually all summer then cut right before I plant my fall plot. I did not spray this year, and it seems just mowing was good enough so not sure the need for spraying in the future for the established plots.
tis what shows up on my Google search.
