Have you ever hunted a fresh burn area

[Slydog]

Yesterday the foothills here by Boise caught fire and burned about 3thousand acres.
As I watched it burn all I could think of was after the fire was out, how good the coyote huntin will be up there. In acouple days I will venture up there and give it a go.

My question is have you ever hunted a burn area and do you like to hunt them?

Sly,I can't answer your qiestion,but I'd say in about 3 to 5 years it will be prime habitat for coyotes on down,might even catch some deer in there.I am going by my experience with new clear cuts here.

I have here in az, usually after a rain or 2 the grass's will grow.. you will see yotes moving from one place to another(basically there normal path until the fire hit)They are also curious and look around.. I would give it a month or so..

No I have never hunted one. As thick as the woods are here that would be heathly for the forrest.

DelW,
This part of the Boise front burns quite a bit and the critters are used to it being black. My thoughts were they may be looking for a cooked meal,,LOL And I will be glad to feed them

Is that what ya'll call a BBQ out in Idaho? Interesting. I tend not to use the whole forrest when smokeing a nice peice of back strap.

never saw one until I took my trip out west. Unbelievable, and it was still smoking! so to answer your question, never had the opportunity to do so.
