Quote from: Strick9 on May 17, 2016, 09:35:08 AMHog, step away from your Crystal Ball. I log over 200 days a year in this forest. I was a USFS employee and have prescribed burnt 1000s of acres. I was also a biologist for the SCDNR and also a Game Warden for the SCDNR. I currently serve as a Wildlife consultant on many large tracts of land and serve on three different hunting/land conservation boards. HOg, you and I have spoken before but it amazes me how many so scientific ingrained or brainwashed individuals can assess an area without ever having laid eyes on it or the way the burn by this group in this forest is applied. When you do this it really shows to your credibility as no true scientist , biologist or otherwise would do anything more than generalize. But to answer some questions:Yes there is the possibility of nest destruction even in smaller mosaic burns it is just far less and also fare less of a threat to other species. Yes there are many other species in decline that share the same needs and habitats as the Wild Turkey mostly amphibs and low nesting song birds. Wild Quail being the most sportsmen related species. Quail Forever is a huge ally on this topic. The purpose of the fire being set is always notated at fuel reduction even when the area only has one year of duff build up . You can literally see for 100s of yards in most of the annually burnt blocks.The fires intensity in low fuel areas is 100 percent in relation to how many incendiaries are dropped. I am not just spouting information but have many friends that still work with the USFS. They tell me the RX is never followed and that the density of fire eggs dropped is usually 3 times the RX if not more. That is how an area low in fuels still gets burned severally as does the canopies of the trees. Make sense? Once these blocks held a myriad of species , now they don't iits really simple. Five years of dense, massive aerial burning an ecosystem at this scale intensity will do that anywhere on any ecosystem. Thats common sense. Hog, I don't mean to come off strong on you. But I am old enough and well traveled enough to only offer a "intelligent opinion" on something that I have not seen with my own eyes especially when the practiced application by team A might be correct whilst Team B with the same equipment completely devastates the entire procedure. To speak that Timber Harvest by the USFS produces profit is to show ones complete ignorance of accouting at the USFS. Currently this same office is under investigation for a 5 million dollar loss that no one can explain several employees are under Admin leave and have been terminated. Unfortunately its mostly scrubbed from the web so you would have to ask around and listen well. Some great questions and I appreciate them. I am not looking to stop spring burning. I am looking to curtail aerial delivery and to hopefully put a little emphasis on the time at which it occurs. Again its only common sense.

QuoteAs to your heat question heat. Add a volatile compound in any amount that burns at a higher temperature than the fuel intended to be burnt and you have done what
