I agree…….I think we ARE noticing it though because of the totality of all the burns combined in some areas. Barbour Co Management Area is something like 22,000 acres…..they burn……The landowners bordering the management area that own several thousand acres……they burn…….The landowner that borders them that owns another thoudsand…..he burns too…..Pa-Ko plantation that borders him is another 5K I believe……they burn……It borders Midway Plantation which is 4,500 acres…..they burn it……Enon Plantation 4,500 …..yep they burn…….Sehoy 5,000……they burn……The Swift Property 7,000 acres…..it gets burned…..Down Under Plantation another 2500 it gets burned…..and so on and so forth for a lot of total acres across Bullock, Russell, Macon, North Barbour……If we look at this on a landscape scale…..Which “stands” or squares are likely drawing in the turkeys to nest in??....It's likely the areas that get burned right??

What I’m getting at here is that some folks are gonna look at the acres being burned compared to the total acreage and say that its not a significant amount but I’d argue that it most definitely is when your baiting in all the turkeys on the landscape to nest in these burn tracts and then you run fire through them at the last minute during spring.

Are all areas of the state having turkey issues??
