Prescribed Burning To Improve Turkey Habitat

Prescribed burning is done on areas of land that are thick and have heavy vegetation in the forest floor. Although some people are against prescribed burning but the benefits greatly outweigh the costs. It is very important that you use extreme caution when doing a prescribed burn. It is not smart to burn when their is a high wind or if the area is exceptionally dry. Disking around the area that is to be burned is also advised instead of relying on a natural boundary such as a creek. For any questions or comments you might have about prescribed burns I highly recommend going to the National Wild Turkey Federation at http://www.nwtf.com/ These people really know their stuff and will help you with any questions you have.
