CNC, I think your idea to go back to replicating the natural world is admirable, but also impossible. There is no going back to the way it used to be. I'm not sure how much we should try. We can't replicate the conditions in 1400, and wouldn't be able to tolerate things like thousands of free ranging buffalo. We can try to create something similar to what used to be, but without all the elements of the old ecosystem, it isn't going to work the same. We have got to do things differently to make it even similar.
I’ve been doing some more reading about the Indians PCP and it sounds like to me that they used fire for all kinds of things over the centuries. If I were them I would have used it for hunting and that’s exactly what they did it sounds like. They also used it for clearing land……for helping to manage wildlife……helping to manage vegetation like cane…..It was definitely a multi-use type tool. In reading about how many different reasons they had for using it I kinda thought to myself that it would make it hard to narrow down why they may have been setting any one given fire you read about no matter what time of the year especially if we’re talking about Indians in North Carolina in one story and Indians in South Alabama in the next. What I think is the most important thing to try to understand are the cues from nature on when and how to do things that they saw…..I appreciate the kind words but I’m not on an admirable mission to save the whales or bring back the buffalo herds as y’all sometimes make it sound…… What I am trying to do is to better understand the concepts and principles of how the natural cycles were designed to function on their own so that we can apply the same principles in whatever manner best suites our situation……If we are burning out of synch with the natural timing of things then it would be foolish and just plain stubborn to say there’s nothing we can do about it. Read my sig line below……. I'll admit I haven't had much time to read this week and haven't read everything in the thread, but I don't understand if we are really disagreeing. I don't think there is much question that the Creeks burned their part of AL in late winter, the same as most people do now. Do you not agree with that? I don't think a very high % of what is burned is done during the growing season, and most of that is done by professionals like gobbler, and that is mostly for a specific purpose on a specific property. So what is the argument?
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
