Hundred plus degree heat index, but you can still get it done! Probably a week since the last rain on this and it needed a good brush control burn

Why Oh Why are we importing ANY wood at all from other countries? In addition, logging on the National Forests will only further complicate the issue with not being able to sell pulpwood on private lands.

Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz says the real brake on US wood supply isn't timber, it's markets — and a national plan to rebuild demand is due within months.

Concerns that prescribed burners in Alabama have to deal with while trying to accomplish as many burn acres as possible.  it is my firm belief that getting as much fire on the landscape is a benefit to both wildlife and the environment.

1) don’t burn during deer season, it messes up my hunting. This takes out most of November, December, January, and part of February.

2) don’t burn during nesting season (we also hear don’t burn during turkey season!). I have found woodcock nests in the end of February and hatched Woodcock chicks in March. I have found plenty of turkey nests in March and I found them in July. The conclusion, not burning during nesting season takes out the end of February through July. 

3) don’t burn when Turkey poults, and fawns are on the ground .  I have seen poults hatch in the middle of April and I’ve seen young fawns in the end of August.
That means no burning until September

Burning will get criticized, regardless of the timeframe. As much as I hate it, it’s simply reality.
