I've worked so hard over the last several years to improve habitat, with mostly hand tools, and without much improvement. The farm took a big step in the right direction yesterday with our first ever burn. I loved every second of it. I'll follow up with "after" pics once things green back up. Matt Brock did a great job for us.

Man, you just killed every turkey for 2 counties in either direction and jumped right to the top of CNC's bad boy list.

From Abolt's perspective, looks like you got a good clean burn. Congrats. Pretty woods too. Brock is good people. Did he wear his red dress to the burn?????

Good job having Matt do your job. Looks good.

He has been doing a lot of work for us too and we really appreciate his work. Hard working, knowledgeable and very conscientious

Nice. You’re gonna like the results.
Did y’all use a leaf blower to make those fire breaks?

Don't know about the OP, but we used a leaf blower earlier this year to split a mixed stand down the middle along and old ATV trail. Worked like a champ and was pretty quick too. I saw one on FB where a guy made a bracket to mount a BillyGoat parking lot blower on the front of an ATV.

I’ve used a leaf blower several times in similar situations and it works pretty good.
I was just wondering if anyone else did that.

I'd rather have a leaf blower than an ATV sprayer with water. Only exception is when a cat faced pine lights up, then it's water or a chainsaw if it's causing problems.

Yes. Luckily, the farm is crisscrossed with ATV trails so it was very easy to add breaks around much of the perimeter.

If you have never burned, do it if at all possible. This first pic was a biological desert a few months ago.
