Yea, I get defensive about it when it is blamed... Emotion is the enemy of rational thought…… [Here is the issue. I hear this every year - burning is causing problems with turkeys, burning burns up nests, burning disrupts turkeys, yada, yada, yada. By folks who don't know anything about fire in the woods. I know what a great management tool it is for turkeys and other wildlife and how it is part of the natural process of our environment. I also have done research on what happens to a forest when burning is stopped. I also, directly see the turkey population response to regularly and correctly burned properties. I agree with everything you are saying about fire being a great tool for wildlife. I agree it builds great habitat and is the main driver for supporting the populations in many of these areas……I also agree that it is a natural part of our environment……..But if you are going to use that as part of your defense then how can just ignore the fact that it didn’t naturally happen in Feb, March, and April……That’s a little convenient isn’t it?....Mother Nature likely had a reason for when she burned naturally. Also, there’s the blatant facts to look at here in what we know about egg production from chicken and turkey breeders/producers……..And that’s the big flashing neon sign that says “For best egg production it is very important to not disturb the hens during nesting”………I would call lighting up half of Macon, Bullock, and Russell counties during nesting season a very plausible cause that may be “disturbing nesting”……Again, I’m pointing at the reasons for why this should be considered and there are more than enough.
