Think turkeys will use the area more with the burn ?Spring pics !
Im not going to start a new thread to purposefully embarrass myself. Im going to SNEAK IT IN!!! Right here!!!!!!!
I always told everyone “I was the kid that burnt down neighbors pine trees. Or started fields on fire”. Just never went well. PTSD!!!!
Tried it one time. Took me 60+ minutes to get the leaves in timber to burn for more than a minute. Finally got a little pocket going. Did have help. Well….. somehow an ember jumped a 30’++ gap of green clovers & caught CRP field on fire. Roaring huge fire.
My trail cam caught a tiny shred of it. Only evidence of my embarrassment is right HERE. I will come back & delete this post someday but I did post it!

Op,
Not sure when your normal greenup is up that way but that burn will green up earlier than normal. All of the critters will enjoy the new browse that comes from that fire. Turkeys also.

Anyone here know of anyone that helps with prescribed fires? I don't know enough about burning to do it safely just yet

Does anyone have experience with how quickly leaves would dry out in the timber this time of year? The property got about an inch of rain yesterday and we were planning to burn Monday afternoon. It's really windy today and warm and windy tomorrow. Do you think it'll burn on Monday or will we need to wait longer?

Sun is a huge factor. South slopes will probably go. I would question the others.
