Control burns help for sure, but they really need some huge plots of Honeysuckle plantations or natural plants for the deer.

Hell I live about 2 miles a crow flight away. Sitting outside burning a brush pile 10 sheets to the wind and a fire truck went by. Then they came back pulled in my driveway and asked if everything was alright.I said yes just burning a small brush pile it was about out.The fireman said someone called a barn on fire.I was like no sir. Then my wife barrels out of the house and says what the hell you done now!!! Fireman said they were at the wrong house!!!

Smoke was thick is st Clair co Friday evening. It when from clear to very smokey fast.

When I left work Friday, you could see the smoke north on 79 from Pinson. I called good friend who is state guy in Etowah Co and he told me is was Bankhead. I told him smoke was gonna be an issue if it settles. Ceiling height was too low dues to clouds and it could not mix. Looked rough on 59 all way to Steele from Clay-Chalkville.
