I have a 3rd season buck tag for those units and am aware of where the fires are/were. Curious what any 2nd season hunters in those units experienced particularly in 18 and 37 which is the areas I know best. I'd heard much of 18 is closed which doesn't leave me a whole lot of areas that I'm familiar with but I do know some. Last year was pretty bleak for deer and crowded as always so wondering how the 2nd season was this year. I'm fearful that the already overcrowded areas outside the fire zones will be far worse this year so considering whether it'd be worth it. I'm likely hunting solo most of the time but may have friends join me on the weekends. My gut says just go and see how bad it is as a tag isn't too expensive but I'm not too excited about the thought of finding orange blobs under every tree. I can usually hike to some tougher areas and get away from most of it but if a new wave of hunters show up that might not be much better. So anyone hunt those units care to share what they found?
