I vote No, and trust me, we have our fair share of Hots on my new land ( Five acres, two acre pond on it, wooded area, see where im going?)

If I can remove it, I will.I see no point in killing it when removing it is just as effective. But, I do not recommend anyone trying to remove a hot without knowing what they are doing. If I see one not close to any trails or passing through I just leave it be. Many times Ive gotten close ( less than an inch, under the foot close) to steping on Hots and none have even flinched. Though it does scare the Crap out of me, I cant bring myself to kill them. I bring a hook around sometimes because id never reach under something with my hands, its all about knowing the basic things to do which I think would be great to teach your kids just so they know.
