Oct 21- Nov 3  And I am semi-familiar with the unit.  Hunted the blues a bunch back in my college days.  Nice to go back and revisit those areas.  I am aware that the area has changed quite a bit.

Cougar Creek fire 0% contained >3091 acres already burned.  Biggest hope is that the firefighters and residents of the area are all safe and continue to be safe.  Looks like the elk season may end up being greatly affected for those hunting GMU 172 this year.

Such a bummer for you tag holders... my sympathies

[trophyhunt]

This sucks, wished they would have got it when it was small.  There are a few houses up there, hope they can back burn before their houses go up!!

Hopefully you will be able to get a crack at it, the little rain earlier in the week didn’t seem to help much. Fingers crossed for you guys, but doesn’t look promising.

Looks like they have been able to hold the line at Menatchee creek. If they can stop it at Indian Tom on the north and cougar creek road on the east, that would be be a big win for the tag holders. Still good habitat being burnt, but lots left that will hold bulls.

[andersonjk4]

Looks like a wind shift overnight is really fueling the fire. It’s jumped Menatchee and heading up Lake Ridge and almost up to Indian Tom. At this point it looks like most of the big drainage is going to burn. Now it’s hoping they can keep it from jumping into any other units.

[trophyhunt]

Hope it doesn’t go more west, lots of houses.

Anyone have insight on the fire? I am one of the 3 archery bull tag holders. Totally bummed right now

I talked to WDFW and they basically said your SOL. Looks like it’s 23% contain as of yesterday so maybe some hope.
