Does anyone know if there are maps or infi available on what areas / MUs burnt last year? We were going to hunt an area southeast of Quesnel and one guy said it burnt but couldn't verify !
Tried googling and searching but no avail..

If it didn't burn last year, it will this year.
And a lot places last year were only hot enough to kill trees. You can see the burn areas by the RED needles.
I'm thinking this summer will be way worse.

Go to the BC Gov Wildfire site
Look for Wildfires of Note
Then look for All Current Wildfires. 2017 fires are listed by name and most have a map attached
Can also check Current Wildfire Activity for this years fires

there were really only 2 big fires East of Quesnel, one on French Mountain near Kersley and one at the back of the 1300rd along the Swift near Cariboo Mtn. If you go into I Map, open the layers, Forest Grassland and Wetland, then open BC Wildfire, then Forest Fire Perimeters Historic and the labels it will show all past forest fires., then go to the Home screen, select the identify tool, click on the fire number and it will tell you the year of the fire.

These are amazing resources! Would not have been able to figure them out by myself so thanks very much... loks like the area I wanted to hunt was about 40km from a fire. Would you consider that too close to a fire from last july (to hunt in the fall)?

It will be fine, unless it burns this year.
