Effects of Fire on Deer and Elk Habitat Selection
The Pole Creek Megafire burned in the late summer of 2018, covering over 100,000 acres. Within the burn area, there are different forest stands with different dominant tree species. I aim to determine how fire affects deer and elk across different vegetation communities. Using camera traps we are able to determine the relative site use of animals across the burn scarÂ
