So deer and moose don't mix well is one thing I get out of the article. Didn't know that.

Interesting, hopefully trends continue to improve and population can climb. Thanks for sharing.

A lot of people shy away from burn areas when on BW trips and I understand why, especially for hammock campers. But, I think I might take my family into the pagami area this summer for a few nights as it’s easy to get to and all of my kids would love to see a moose in the wild.

There something to see also,the changes and growth going on. I am always amazed at the landscape and huge boulders you otherwise would not see or maybe huge areas of fireweed in bloom.
Yes I am curious will we get a explosion of snowshoe hare in that area in the future also?

I was there the spring and summer after the fire one received a whole different outlook of the land scape then when it was covered with trees.

Lots of man made stuff laying around found a tin fuel can stuffed in root ball most likely from then 20's.

Lots of metal in the woods for sure.

Very glad I went

Lake one to lake 4 area I think a lot of trash was deposited pre-1970's when no can rules existed and it was quite common probably everywhere. Out of site out of mine. People just threw it in the woods.

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I love tripping through burn areas. A different perspective and beauty all its own. Yes, camp sites are not as great, and harder to set up a tarp or hammock, but as always there are trade-offs.

It's difficult to see the boulders or fireweed in the Pagami Creek burn area anymore as the regrowth of jackpine has hidden most of that but it has been fascinating to watch the rejuvenation of the forest in the area.
