GMU 101
« on: February 26, 2016, 02:39:43 AM »
Has anyone been to the 101 area yet to scout things out. I'm sure it still looks like a war zone. Any animals spotted?

Much of the burned area is still off limits, even to foot traffic.

From what I understand the state let Hancock go and harvest trees after the fires. Those properties are barren land with no nutrients to start new growth.
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.

I've got to respectfully disagree with your second statement.  Sure some spots burned hot and are sterile but the 101 GMU fires but they aren't really barren areas. 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Not all of it is gone  but a very big part looks like moondust and matchsticks, Boulder especially did make for some great riding the last few months. give it a year or three and it will be back on track.

The picture I saw of some of the Hancock property was barren. Entire sections with nothing but burnt stumps. Definitely not the entire GMU burned but the Kettle Crest got hit pretty hard.

Not barren like I remembered the pics. The second pic you can see the moonscape in the background.

4-5 feet of snow at the summit.  It snowed pretty good up there on Easter

That is a typical Hancock clearcut, burned timber or not.  Haven't been up to see the area, but most fires create a mosaic of burned, not burned, and no organic matter left at all.  Just depends on how the fire was acting at the time.  Give it about three years to recover and it will be impressive habitat.  Then you have good hunting/vision for about 10-12 years, then it is a jungle in need of a fire again to eliminate the lodgepole regen.
