Heads up for you fellas that have 28 tags. Red rock fire blew up yesterday and over 3/4 of the unit is closed.

Glad I don’t have a deer tag there this year. The way the weather is it will be mid November until it maybe under control

the fire was fine until yesterday and it blew up with 60mph wind. Yeah the snow will put it out at some point

Just checked in with my buddy over in North Fork and he says it’s pretty smoky over there. That area is tough to hunt when the smoke settles in around the Salmon River.

Got an email earlier today offering to let me get a refund minus a $50 fee. I'm holding out hope that I can still get the last week of the season in. The fire isn't in an area I planned to hunt anyway.

Way to hold out hope, but I’m over here right now and that fire is still cranking. Another fire is going right down to the river and they are closing parts of 21 because they figure it’s about to jump the river. I  planned on hunting wlk in 28 and I’m figuring on different plans. I highly doubt it will open up by then and it’s open till the 8th

Better head to the Shady Nook or Bertrams.

Looks like there's snow creeping in the forecast a week from now.  Hopefully that's not a fluke!

68k acres now. They need rain or snow.

Was the refund offer just for your deer tag or was it for an elk tag as well?

I only have the deer tag. My email just talked about deer but I'd imagine elk tag holders would have the same offer.

I have a Salmon B tag and a 21A deer tag and I haven’t received any communications from IDFG. My guess is that 21A and 21 will be very crowded this year.

Yeah I guess it makes sense, since you have 3 units for elk there's no reason to offer a refund.

I've got the same exact tags!  I'll be traveling in menacing style, hunting out of a Forester.  Well, mostly parking it and backpacking in.  Crossing fingers for snow.
