I saw the national forest had a lot of controlled burns this weekend.

Mixed emotions on this one. Understand the benefits of fire and realize there hasn't been a lot of burn days this year. But in some areas, turkey numbers are down so much losing any nesting opportunity is a major loss.
This raises a question, could the same benefits to the land be achieved by postponing the burn to late fall ?

Yes and no, if the purpose of the burn is to the reduce fuel load then yes a dormant season understory burn would be fine. As for knocking back any woody competition it’s best to do an early growing season burn or a mid growing season burn. Yes this understory season sucked, but I did manage to get just about all of my clients that were worried about turkey nest taken care of by the first of April. I had a couple that did call it off because worried about nesting season, I don’t blame them, If it was my land I would to, I’ll wait till they are comfortable about it and finish up their burning i a couple of weeks.

What purpose / end story? Is this all to do with the love of the longleaf. When I conducted Environmental Site Assessments across the delta for ALDCNR there were many structures that would have been great camps for hunting or staying overnight for camping. To my knowledge the structures along the Tensaw (predominately) were torn down and removed because they were not FOREVER WILD. I'm not a forestry expert, but burning loblolly pines will allow for more nutritious forbs to grow and benefit all wildlife in the long run. The only downside to burning this late is potential loss of turkey nesting sites as was said above. It releases stored nutrients in the soil which also benefits the pine trees and reduces competition for the nutrients by suppressing undesirable hardwoods like sweetgums. I wish the landowners we lease our club land from would burn.

Jallencrocket, the end game, long term, is to restore native grass and forb plant communities to these stands. They are not public land. This is private ground of mine and a friend. There is no shortage of turkeys here, and the benefits of providing quality brood rearing cover far outweigh the loss of a nest or two.

I was going to spread chicken litter through the woods when it starts greening up and turn loose a few coons to eat chicken snakes. That not a good plan?

I'd say that's as sound of an IPM program as you can have to assure a silent spring next year.

My favorite time of year to burn except for all the idots that think you can’t burn after March.

Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
