You gotta stop looking at it from an individual nest perspective, and look at it from a total population and landscape level impact perspective. The benefits from prescribed fire outweigh the few nests losts. Ted Devos has kept up with average fire timing on large properties he manages, and although most burns occur during nesting season, those properties have some of the strongest turkey populations. I’ve seen very similar results, although I’m not keeping up with it that way. Are you going to lose some? Yes.
