My dad's lease burnt in 2011 and it's been better than ever since. His is in east tx. Really opened it up and and you were able to access places you never knew about before the fire.

It will be much better

I've seen places logged and burnt, within a year the deer didn't seem to care much. Plus side is the and will be fertile and you can rebuild the habitat and make it stronger. I'd like to know more also, would be fun to build everything back up.

About half of our 2,000 ac. lease burned in the sping of 2011. That half was GREEN when we started getting some rain. But, now the trees are starting to fall down that the fire killed. We don't have a lot of trees to spare:0. This in North Texas with a moderate deer population, but it hasn't impacted our hunting.

Without a doubt! Those burns are not easy to do and can be dangerous. Mother nature probably did the whole ranch a favor as long as no one was hurt.

I have a chance to manage a 4500 acre deer lease that was burnt due to lightning back in 2010 and hasn't been hunted since. My question is what could i expect as far as a deer population? I was on the lease before it burnt and it was a great lease.

The fire made the lease even better. Deer do not eat trees/brush, they eat foliage, especially new growth.

Being in charge of a deer lease is it's own private Hell. Set the rules early. Have a contract with the landowner for exclusivity. Your place should be recovering nicely by now, providing that it has had some rain. Have a contract with your landowner for exclusivity.
Start feeding early, and Oh yeah, have a contract with your landowner for exclusivity.

Most of the Chaparall WMA's 15,000 acres burned in 2008 and the deer did just fine. The biologists down there said the deer survived primarily on prickly pear.

This was my first thought too!!!!
