Since logging in Oregon has been essentially shut down by environmentalists, I've been looking to burns for young food supplies for deer hunting. Food quality in burns varies quite a bit here by rainfall amounts. I would classify southern Oregon as very wet winters and extremely hot and dry summers. We can go months w/o rainfall to supplement feed in summer, essentially eliminating great conditions that would otherwise be in burns. Instead of desirable food we end up with drought resistant brush of one type or another. Ceanothus, manzanita, etc. I envy the places I see in photos with lush grass in wide open areas. Must get more summer rains to support it than we do.
