Pressure is the million dollar question, especially since the fire started the other day (Warner gulch fire) last report was about 75% contained, but you never know with the recent wind. Shouldn’t affect it much, just move stuff around. I think this year more than any other, scouting will be the utmost critical. Last I heard was about 600 acres which is nothing, but if it gets out of control who knows. Still a lot of ground. Good luck

There's lots of roads in Lick Creek, really have to work to get away from them. I don't think it's all that important to get away from the roads. It's always a good idea, but the elk are not always down deep in Lick Creek.

This is my first time ever putting in for a cow tag, never needed to as a bowhunter until this year when the cow options are limited.  I found a total of 4 special permit options for eastern archery.  I had 9 points from back when the elk special permit got divided into quality, bull, cow, etc. 

The gmu is open for spike only OTC from Sept. 8-20.  There are 7 bull permits that start on Sept. 1, and 10 cow tags that start on the 8th.  I plan on sharing info with the bull permit holders when I locate bulls.  I am cautious about bugling as I don't want to mess with anyone's bull hunt.  I guess locating from ridges will be ok.  I plan on camping down low for opening weekend and hunt from the bottom. 

I didn't know about the fire, thanks for the info.  I am crossing my fingers that fire and smoke steer clear of the blues.

Yes the smoke is getting bad throughout the west, hopefully it doesn't stay that way.  Monday night into Tuesday I drove to Utah and the smoke was bad throughout Oregon and Idaho.  But not as bad as last year in Eastern WA.
