Wildfire behavior

Hey yall,
First time posting on here. I'm new to hunting, last year was my first season. Without a hunting buddy or dad to teach me I fumbled around the woods all season last year, got lucky and saw a few deer but wasn't able to take one home to meet the folks. I live in the Oregon , more specifically Eugene.

I'm just curious from some people with a bit more experience than me (pretty much anyone with a pulse) any ideas or predictions on the animals behavior this year with our current wildfire epidemic? Of course the animals are gonna move away from the immediate flames and obviously I wouldn't Rambo out and head directly into the wildfire regions, but any other advice would be helpful....

Thanks guys!

Fire is a normal part of life for the animals. they move away from the danger and go about their routine.

Once the flames are out they'll go back into a fire area if there is anything left to eat.

I've seen deer/bucks in areas still smoldering. Animals will congrigate to fire areas for different reasons...flea/tick repel, fresh green feed etc. I wish the whole state would burn.....

A few rains like we've had here in NE Kali will create new growth. Besides the lack of insects, the new growth will attract deer.

Here is some general hunting information for you I did for new hunters.
