"Leaves of three, let it be" Leave it alone or kill it is what that old saying means. Without being able to see the vine portion, I would say I am about 80% sure it is poison ivy, sumac or something ugly. Rouund up or the like will kill it. Colbyt

looks like poison oak, but why take the chance?

I'd say the same. Best to spray it.
Pretty sure it's not poison ivy; leaves are lobed too much. I'd venture good possibility of poison oak.

Not sure at all, but remember the maxim: "When it doubt, kill it!"
Either poison ivy or poison oak. Wet all the leaves with RoundUp, wait 3 weeks, and repeat if needed. Best not to pull it out and do not burn it.
Its poison something, a common way to get infected is walk through it, take off your shoes, rub your eyes and take a pee. The oils can last 6 months on tools and clothes. Safe is roundup anything like that with 3 leaves.

Thanks for all the responses. I nuked it with Roundup. Being an ongoing vine, I know you can't kill the whole thing by spraying exposed plant. But what is showing sure shows signs of a severe tummy ache.

Yea I thought I read someplace even if it appears/is dead it can still give you the itch because of the oils.
Weed whacking is OK though :-)
