Controlled burn?

[darenative]

Anybody ever had a controlled burn in their marsh?

My favorite piece of ground is about to go under the match as soon as the weather conditions permit.

This piece hasn't been burned in my lifetime, so I'm not to sure what to expect next season.

I'd expect everything to be very similar to the last season. It'll burn off, it'll grow back up, deer will still be there come fall. Actually probably more deer as the new growth will attract them for the new green browse.

I actually look forward to certain areas getting burned since it does improve hunting and thins some of the cattail choked areas. It looks pretty bad right after the burn but greens up very rapidly.

The area in question is about 75% salt marsh with the remainder being your typical freshwater marsh.
I know the salt marsh will take longer to regrow, but hope you guys are right about the freshwater marsh.
With all the activity in the area from cutting fire breaks, the daytime deer activity has taken a nose dive.
