turkey_slayer,
 
 right on the money: hawthorn and invasive.
Where in VA are you?
I'm in the middle of the Shenandoah Valley.
We've got them everywhere!!!
They are commonly found around log landings, edges
of wildlife clearings, and old grown-up pasture.
I work on National Forest land those things are a PAIN to deal with.
We had 2 projects in the Hidden Valley area in Bath County
that everyday my guys came out of the woods bleeding like stuck pigs.

Several years back while rabbit hunting, my buddy shot a rabbit while it was in the
bushes. It was kind of warm and I was the only one with a brush coat on.
As I backed into a rats nest of those things to get the rabbit, I got stuck
in the point of my elbow. I never could get the broken tip out. After my elbow
swelled up to a little bigger than a golf ball hanging off the point and 2 1/2 months later and very painful;
it started getting better. I avoid them at all cost now.
My elbow hurts just typing this, haha.

For HIS service,

  R.D.
