[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5688460, member: 17"] Yup, TN Forestry is doing a great job, [I]when they can get to a job[/I]. One of my clients is using them for burning, and when they burn, they do a really good job. However, finding the right days to burn has vastly limited when they can work. My client has a long list of places that need burning, but TN Forestry never can get them done. My client is now years behind schedule on his burns. Drift of aerial spray can be a problem, as can steep terrain, but losing a few surrounding trees doesn't concern me. We've got plenty of oak trees. In fact, the cuts I want sprayed have standing trees in them, and I know they'll be killed (we cut down to 10" DBH, which left isolated trees). But I looked at the areas aerially sprayed on my client's property, and two years after, it's a smorgasbord of deer food and cover. Honestly, even more impressive than when the cut first regrew after timber removal (and I don't really know why). Again, if fire were an easy option, I would choose fire. But it's not. So the next easiest is aerial spraying. Yeah, TVA no longer does aerial spraying because of the drift. They now maintain all of the Right-of-Ways with 4-man backpack spraying crews. I've talked to the crews on two different occasions as they sprayed the ROWs that run across my place. Well, "talk" isn't quite right as they don't speak much English (all Central Americans).
