This is just a little off the cuff in my thinking on this matter but…….doing only backburns would probably be a good idea…..slow low intensity fires that just skimmed the top of off ab duff layer to promote new growth……The concepts here are no different than what we’re doing in our food plots with “thatch”.....If you dont have any duff layer at all to skim off.....then I would think about holding up on even burning period.....

This is where cattle would really help things.....They would help us manage in a little different way to manage these type soils in a different long term direction.....with fire used as well.......just in the right manner.....you just got to use your eyes to see what tool needs using.......We are soil managers and just dont know it.....as a whole we are very poor ones right now too.
