Not sure the underbrush has ever been controlled on this piece of ground. Hopefully creat spots for turkeys and deer to forage through with fresh greenery.

Depends on what underbrush species that would benefit from a fire.
Seven years ago a neighbor set fire to some woodland and it crossed over onto my land. It took out some prime habitat and food source on about 20 acres. The fire killed off hazelnut brush, wild grapevines, various growth stages of wild apple and crabapple trees, poplar, hackberry and cedar trees. The only trees that survived were White Oak and Shagbark Hickory, though many young trees were stunted.

Only an acre or 2 total burned of a 40 acre lot. Figure I will burn a few different areas each year. Leave some unburned altogether.
Only 1 maybe 2 cedars burned up and none of the ones I laid over that are still living.
Definitely don't want all of the brush gone.

A lot of what would be buck brush, gooseberry and some of the multi floral rose didn't burn. Mainly leaves and a few smaller, dead, dry limbs sticks.

find any old sheds in the burn?
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

find any old sheds in the burn? Not yet. Have looked the 2 previous weekends. Still pretty thick and wasn't paying attention today. Hopefully get out and look again next weekend. Kid at work really been finding them in the last 2 weeks.

You can see how thick the brush is. Didn't even burn the larger cedars when it would go under them. Still a lot of moisture from a little rain and snow on Thursday.

About 30' behind me is where the front door to the new house is going to be. Clear out about half of those hickory trees and get some sort of plot going there. Be some good front porch viewing happening then.

Father in law burns his every year. He has a 20 acre field that is in a wildlife habitat program. A biologist put his plan together and burn offs were part of the plan. In fact, they are burning today.

We burned some 20yr old pine plantation about 2 weeks back. The pines don’t sweat it at all, but the browse should be great going forward.
