Has anyone observed unusual deer behavior or migrations from the NE WA Fires?

Like the title asks?

Good question. Will be checking my trail cams this weekend. I keep all the info in a spreadsheet and graph it etc. Ya, I do to extremes

Will post if there is any difference over the last few weeks. I am west side, but maybe there is an effect.

No.  Other than the obvious burned areas it's all the same.  All the drainages still have water.  Just less of it.

You guys with all your hi - tech gadgets ...I remember sitting on rocks and stumps for hours during different times of the year to study routes,habits,etc,etc under all different conditions including blizzards and sub zero temps(actually wish I had one of these game cameras then ) and hand writing everything in a journal. Not knocking you,its just that things have come a long way ...Look at me,I,m talking(or typing) about it on a magic screen! ...I,m still a firm believer in getting out there "in person" and just watching em and following em around,old school I guess ....Original question-sure patterns and behavior will change because one or more of the  3 important factors might not be in the "same place" or familiar places anymore....Water,food and cover...as always,my  ....and yes, great question

Nobody will know anytime soon in the burn areas, cause it's closed off to all access and will be thru the year in the stickpin complex

We've been in burn areas. The oddest thing is seeing deer and turkeys wandering around in all that ash!

Which highway?  Or do you not have permission to post?

North Idaho. And no.  The pics are reveling and the photo taker hunts the property where the bucks are now.  Sorry.   Mind blowing big....
