My original comments were not "just" regarding
mammoths and other very large game. I recently read a
few articles about early hg's in my area (southern
Idaho). They hunted rhinos, and camels, and other
beasts that nobody alive today could have ever lived
around here (except in zoos). Not just mammoths. All
are gone now because of climate changes that destroyed
their food supplies - plus a great inland sea that
covered much of southern Idaho and northern Utah (the
Great Salt Lake is a remnant) drained into the ocean
around that time.

That's merely an assumption on your part. In my area
*huge* forest fires occur with regularity - many of
them too large for human intervention to stop them.
They have to "burn themselves out". Surprisingly, most
of these areas become life sustaining again in mere
decades. I cannot say whether these areas could
support large mammoth herds after one of these forest
fires, but neither can you. It's pure conjecture.
