It has rained a good amount the last few days over here and I am going to bet that at least some of the areas that burned will be green again before we know it. This won't really effect hunting this year but should at least help the deer this winter. Reports are saying that majority of the Entiat fire was low intensity so that should come back just fine. Carlton is different but still should have some spots come back 
How hot was the Carlton Complex or the Cougar Flats area fire?
It sounded like the Falls Creek burn was pretty bad (hot) there was a ton of fuel on the ground up there.
I have seen areas that were burned so hot all that is left is the holes where roots of trees were. Then you see 100 plus year old pines that have been through lots of fires still standing?
Carlton burnt hotter I know that but haven't heard any reports released. I read the other day about the Entiat fire that something like 80% or more was low intensity. I know at our property close to Liberty when the fire moved through you could sure tell where was high and where was low. The low was green a few weeks later and the high intensity patches were scorched and looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.
