This week we all sit mesmerized by Dr. Craig Harper of UT as he explains his twenty-five-year study of fire and how it affects habitat. We’ve all known the importance of dormant season fires on the landscape but Craig explains the importance of fire at other times of the year and the exact benefits. His long study in conjunction with many other smart minds is now being explained and the results are eye opening. He’s even preaching to burn smaller areas and he thoroughly explains why. Want to improve bedding? He has an answer. Want to create fawning cover? Want to create poult bugging areas? Nesting areas? High protein forbs and forages for a healthier deer herd? You have to listen to this one. We think it may be the most definitive explanation of fire we’ve heard and how using it over the calendar year can help you to accomplish your goals. You might need a notebook. Listen Learn and Enjoy.
