On this habitat focused podcast, we discuss the benefits of the burning during the late summer. Yes, we burned during a drought recently here in southern Missouri with strict goals and objectives for this burn unit. On this podcast, we examine, how, why, when, and where.  Growing season fires are not like dormant season fires, they result in different outcomes. A growing season fire usually allows the forbs to flourish while controlling the woody saplings in the unit based on the time of the fire. Based on the ambient temperature outside, it is much easier to top kill a sapling when temperatures are warmer now than in February. The size of these units also are very important, we use a growing season fire to put the finishing touches after the broad strokes of habitat improvements have been made. Edge feathered areas usually respond very well to a growing season fire. It places more food and cover in close proximity to food plots.  Be sure to listen to this educational podcast on prescribed fire during the growing season. Turn your habitat into a dyanmic offering for the wildlife. #ForLoveofotheLand    Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast Our Sponsors: * Check out Thompson Cigars and use my code SE for a great deal: https://thompsoncigar.com * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code EMPIRE25 for a great deal: https://www.trollco.com/hunting Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
