I posted this pic in another thread or maybe earlier in this one but it’s a pic of a “grass prairie” where I was tracking a deer for some folks….Its a result of very frequent dormant season burning….This is pretty common in some areas across large expanses….As it concerns turkey habitat and turkey nesting, correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the only part of this that a turkey hen is really gonna utilize is going to be a certain buffer area around the perimeter of it…..In other words, the center will not be utilized and the larger the expanse the larger the unutilized center……However…….temporarily turn a cattle herd loose on it for a few weeks and suddenly you’ve created a big checkerboard out of it and maximized the number of nesting sites that the hens have access to…..all while depositing fertilizer, stimulating the seed bank, etc…..You also change the future fire behavior when fire is introduced to being less intense…. Isnt this grass in essence just standing “hay”???……Instead of mechanically harvesting the hay and hauling it to the cattle……Why not take the cattle out of the overgrazed pastures and bring them to the hay??? The totality of how it would change land management would be HUUUUGE!
