Well lets see how this affects the deer season down there. Wondering where the herd is after a fire like this.

We will see. Heading up for my son's first deer hunt Thursday. Hopefully we don't get rained out.

I've been hiking the AZ Trail with a couple of buddies, and we just hiked sections 40 & 41 on the Kiabab last weekend.   Section 40 goes right through the East side of the Kiabab where the Bravo fire burned.  The section we hiked just opened back-up last Thursday, and we were the first to hike that section of the AZT post-opening.

The fire scar intensity through the portion we hiked was anywhere from severe in portions, to mild/spotty in others.   We saw lots of deer and sign all over the burned areas (plus lots of fresh bison sign in the burned area closer to the southern end....).  We also saw turkeys and grouse in the spotty burned areas.  Pretty amazing how fast the wildlife will move back into burned areas.
