The fire in that area was in 2012. This year's fire was to the east. I was just in there last weekend. Saw a few archery hunters but nothing hanging. It's sure thick in there, even with all the timber burned and dead. But tons of lush green stuff growing. I saw one bull at 1:00 in the afternoon, standing in the thick stuff about 60 yards off the road, at first I thought it was a legal bull, but then I saw a small fork on one side. Would have been legal in a spike area but not a true spike area, which this is. One stretch of road there I saw several fresh rubs. So definitely elk in there but it sure doesn't look like a very easy place to hunt.
