Hunting a prescribed burn area

[Double B]

Shot mine out of a burn in the National forest last year.  Saw it being burned last March and got real excited.....it paid off.

The reason they are going to burn it is because 15 years ago when we cut the timber it was nothing more than natural regenerated pines and hardwoods that grew up in a field. After it was cut we wanted the absolute best we could get as far a quality land and timber so the state forest service gives us a guide to go by and part of it is burning it about every 3 years. No cost to us and a little tax break. Burning is great for pines.

The only negative about a burn area would be limiting out too quick.

Consider yourself very lucky!.When I hunted Alabama last year the guys told us that neighbors do burns just to draw turkeys away from other properties..Better than food plots!.
They get in there right after a burn while it still smoking.
I'll never forget what the head guide told us..
"Dey love to eat dem charred bugs!"
Cant wait...I'm going back in a couple of weeks

love a burn...especially if it is still smoldering and some still burning...enhances the atmosphere of the playing field

There are a few the Forrest Service areas that I hunt that have burn signs up............I cant wait ! Two years ago they burned off a spot 2 days before season. I had the place to my self,and killed out to quick !
