I have always known Tiger Island hunting club to be in dry creek. Never heard of a tiger island hunting club in merryville. The hunting will be phenomenal in a couple years. Hopefully this will prompt forestry companies to control burn whatever doesn’t get burned now.
I strongly believe that had forestry companies cleaned up the woods after hurricane Laura this fire wouldn’t be near as bad. Instead they said screw the woods and left all the down trees on the ground to rot. Anybody who has walked in the woods around Beauregard parish after the hurricane can tell you the amount of down trees and tree tops is staggering

It also appears fire lane guidelines were not enough to slow this thing down. As much as that area is logged there's no way this fire didnt jump a few fire lanes. Of. Course with the statement yesterday of embers flying 20 miles a 30 foot fire lane is nothing.
Honestly as dry as it is I'm not sure controlled burns wouldve done much either.
Its nice to apply blame but the treetops are also going off like matches.

Unfortunately that timber on the ground was worth almost nothing. Mills can only take so much and much if it was twisted and low quality

Does anyone have any insight to how these timber insurance policies are paid out assuming the fires are started by cigarette/people being dumbasses? I would assume the policy would pay. But I’m sure these companies collected some off of hurricanes in 2020 and we all know insurance will look for any clause to not pay.
I guess federal funding could kick in if not
