I recall from my days getting a forestry degree that ungulates recognize the bonanza a fire brings. After a spring or early summer fire, they will be in the charred out areas looking for shoots of grass that explode with growth.
As the season progresses vegetation will be limited by day length and heat. In either case, hunting a burn can pay dividends as the forest reclaims its growth cycle.

My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
