where are the three new fires that started last night?

The largest of the three new lightning fires is the 100-acre Riley Fire which is burning in the Mount Adams Wilderness one mile north of the Horseshoe Fire. On Thursday evening, two loads of retardant were dropped on its northwest side to prevent potential spread towards recreation areas. The 7 Lakes Fire is a small fire burning in the Lewis River drainage, two miles south of Takhlakh Lake. The Canyon Fire is a small fire burning on the south side of Council Bluff, 1.5 miles northwest of Council Lake.

Here is a good link for fire info. Now calling it the "Mt. Adams Complex"

Love the area but when we hunted it 2 years ago on the westside we went in at 2:30am in the dark. Hit the calls a few times thru 4 diffrent drainage and not a peep.  All the wallows from the year before were dry and didnt see any fresh sign. Sure looks awsome thou in there

I had the Oct. 1 rifle tag several years ago. Most incredible elk hunt I have been on. Went over three different times before the season. Talked to a lot of bow hunters that all had the same story, hard to find until the rut starts. Then it gets pretty wild. Walked for three days before the season without much sign then got a tip from a PCT hiker. Night before opening day we were at the top of the Stagmen trail listening to six bulls going off in the timber below the intersection with the PCT.  Was back up there at daylight the next morning and the elk were all going nuts. One of the bulls sounded like a total terradactal. Did not ever see him. Saw two nice fives spinning in circles until a spike ran right between them. Blew it on a nice five, missed ahead shot as he was boiling downhill. Next afternoon after showers and laundry at Troutlake we walked up Riley creek from the highway. A mile or so up the hill my buddy said he thought he heard a bugle. A minute later a bull cut lose with a bugle that sounded like it was right on top of us. I about came out of my boots. He told me he was going to try to cow call, bugling in days prior brought no responses. I scooted up about thirty yards to be able to see better as it was still pretty thick. As soon as he cow called a bull came walking in, I thought it was a spike because of the thick brush, Above me about sixty yards I could see the branches on a large tree moving back and forth. It finally dawned on me that it was a big bull standing right behind the tree. The spike was still standing there at thirty yards looking right at me. He finally turned and I could see that he was a nice forked horn double. I shot him, with no regrets as I had to go back to work on Monday. My buddy said another bull came and went that I did not see and another was circling behind us when I shot. Muddy Meadows is another spot on the north side that has been good over the years. I believe we walked 10 plus miles a day up there so unless you spike camp be ready for that

I believe the East side of the Mt. Adams Wilderness is in the Yakima Indian Reservation
