Prescribed Fires | Burning For Deer and Turkey

Burning For Deer and Turkey

Powered by Stone Road Media


“Only you can prevent forest fires!” Yep old Smokey at it again. That bear is the iconic image of fire. And who could forget Bambi and his father running through the flames brought on by man! Unfortunately these images have worked a little too well in supporting fire suppression, to the point where fire is severely lacking on our landscape. But fire is a part of the landscape, even the Native Americans used fire frequently to change habitat. These prescribed burns are different than those displayed by Bambi and Smokey, and when done right, releases a flush of new growth for all wildlife, including deer and turkey.
