Someone else mentioned herbicide, which will surely be part of your solution. I have had good luck with Remedy (generic name: Triclopyr 60.45%). It can be as much as $80 a gallon, but you can dilute it substantially with diesel fuel. Add a splash of dishwashing detergent to act as a surfactant--as I understand it, it makes the solution cling to the plant.

You need not spray an entire plant. Spray just around the base, all 360 degrees. Larger brush may take a while, but it will die. I have had very good luck with it. Put that in a battery-powered backpack sprayer, and you'll be able to kill a lot of brush.

Good idea. Maybe they make one that is entirely silent and doesn't have any little red lights or the like to tell you that it is on. I have not shopped for one like that.

Your caution is wise. A landowner owes few duties to a trespasser. One of those few is not to intentionally injure him. Work with law enforcement and don't employ self help.

And good luck on not getting the game camera stolen. Life isn't fair.
