7. Avoid burned areas
They can be hazardous in many ways, including falling trees, holes, loose rocks, etc. They also aren't much fun to hunt. Give them a rest and let the land recover.
8. Beware of rainstorms
They will help put out any remaining fires, but rain can also cause flash flooding and landslides on newly burned areas. Not to mention will cake your hunting boots in 3 inches of thick, thick mud. So be mindful before (and after) your hunt if a rainstorm passes through.
9. Expect some closures even when the fires are out
Land managers are cautious with newly burned areas and may keep restrictions in place well into winter and possibly longer.
10. Not all fires are bad
Fires can have tragic consequences, as we have seen with lost lives, burned homes and disrupted lives and livelihoods. But fires can also improve wildlife habitat, and in most wildlands, are part of the natural cycle.
