Mississippi State Deer Lab collaborated with Mossberg in a new series about game management. This video is about prescribed fire or what is often called controlled burning. When you see the visual proof of why it is the main choice of land management experts you'll be stunned.

Dr. Mark McConnell and Luke Resop, who represent the Mississippi State Deer Lab, walk you though a visual understanding so that you can see it with your own eyes.

 

Discover the benefits of using prescribed fire as a sustainable land management tool for wild game habitats. In this video, we explore how controlled burns rejuvenate ecosystems, enhance food sources, and promote biodiversity. Learn how prescribed fire clears invasive plant species, enriches soil nutrients, and fosters the growth of native vegetation that is essential for healthy wildlife populations like deer, turkey, and quail.

Find out why land managers and conservationists use this technique to create the perfect balance of cover and forage for wild game, while also reducing the risk of uncontrolled wildfires. Whether you’re a landowner, hunter, or conservation enthusiast, this method offers long-term solutions for habitat improvement.

So many land owners, deer leases, or hunting clubs are honestly afraid to use fire for land management because it is just something few people feel comfortable with in the end.

We were stunned to be honest about what controlled burning, using prescribed fire techniques, along with simply clearing land, can do to restore the food for deer, turkeys, and quail.
