I would venture too say that fire use is by far nationwide the farthest behind for addition to our restored turkey flocks...in fact I wonder if the turkey was a big motivator for fire use throughout mankind's history??? I know it was a good tool for growing crops but when it could enhance turkey production would it have reached a new dimension??? Turkeys may have been more of an influence because it was so close too man......😊 Good episode 😊
I saw mossy oaks gamekeepers podcast new episode just out in the last couple days which I like btw and they had a fire episode also😊....but anyways too add something about the hogs is that when they burn and chase them out and shoot them off the hogs have a fear of fire and they don't come around for a month or more if they do the ones that lived....😊 so that experience tells the story of what fire can do to help displace hogs.....another thing I always like too mention too is the tick control it really lays waste to ticks and really slows production of young.....that's one reason we have so many ticks these days is the loss of fire on the landscape.....😊
It's interesting what stores history hides in this case I found old history which precisely supported what plain Ole wildlife managers and field workers in states and a newer dimension organizations with wildlife biologists trying too find the right ideas too give the turkey a long lasting future.....it's the best way vs. just saying stop hunting or do programs that aren't effective... because a growing approach Is dynamic its popular because it makes turkeys and allows growth for hunting that so many cherish..........and we learn from it all....😊
Basically things have fallen between the cracks in history in all the comotion and were having to reeducate ourselves for wildlife management well and protect and reintroduce some wildlife.....but for those interested in this what were doing is well worth doing.....😊
Ran across a challenge that is presented by wild hogs that I thought I would add just because I thought it has a fairly high impact in burning and really aren't favorable anyways......but for burning they eliminate alot of understory which besides keeps beneficial plants and tears up the ground even can eliminate the ability too burn entirely......😮could be part of an important plan in planning anything initially.....plus I've saw stuff before they can prey on turkeys eggs so on a so forth........I've saw on previous episodes the problem with hogs on lands for good management......and they were not originally in this continent so they were not an object ever in relationship too wild turkeys.....😊
Well I know they did use fire for turkeys as fact as I posted on last episode we know from history as there were many relationships in different regions between native Americans and New arrivals basically I'll say and all different depending on places and people.....but I think that maybe when they found a good solution too immediate care for turkey because it was a highly consumed thing in localized areas the practices too make it sustainable would have been a popular thing.......😊
I thought of something I haven't saw or heard of but very possibly might have been done by people is if you want to burn an area that hasn't got a real lot of burnable under brush maybe too help get some fire on it go get some old straw bales or whatever and spread it out and then burn.....there's usually tons of old bales around if a guy could get them......😊
I more or less think we have a finite ability too create turkeys and habitat.....wild turkey science is impressive imo...we can do alot and secure a number of growing wild turkeys if we want and undoubtedly should while resources are left they are a great bird.....too us it looks like alot but how much is that going too be??? We can do it just takes elbow grease and of course savy to prolong the effort...😊
Harvard says native Americans burned in a one too three year cycles it greatly aided deer and turkeys and berry's as well as gave them increased visibility and the ability too hunt with bow and arrows much easier......they did this maintenence extensively some they name did it says for thousands of years!.......😊

Yea that opening gobble is quite good......😮😊and that narration the ecology of wild turkeys.....😮😊
Thank you!
