First priority, safety of area's peoples, and forest service lands. It will be even more dry out there later. Potential for fire goes way up. Weather and wind has a lot to do with days and places they burn. Wind has to be right. Fire dept has to be available. They have limited resources too. Lots of variables to getting it done when the opportunity arises.
Our ability to hunt out there is just a spin-off of what those lands were meant for. They have lots of other uses/purposes too.

Early fall does a better job of killing back sapling and cedar encroachment. Often times, late winter burns just kill the above ground portion, and the plant still has enough reserves left in the root system to live on.

Hunted yesterday morning through this morning. Shot this pig at about 7am yesterday. Pig took a death dive into some nasty/thick stuff. Had a young buck walk through at about 30 yards, chased a doe through the field after. No deer last night or this morning. Another group of pigs came through this morning but didn't feel like losing another arrow and broad head. I've got to move units tomorrow. I'm encountering other hunters too often.

Well thanks for the info guys. Guess I know better than to run cameras out there during the season. I work out of town two weeks at a time and cant just run out there right before they decide to burn it.Last edited by JohnEdward; 11-19-2018, 02:47 PM.
