My UNIT IS ON FIRE!

[cleetus]

Well my hunting unit anyway. Two weeks from opening day of Muzzie season and the area I hunt in Goldendale is on fire. Fire started on Boxcanyon Rd. and that is where my buddies property is at. Have yet to find out if his home is still there. My hunt may be in jeopardy but right now at least I am praying my buddy has not lost everything.

Glad you claified that.  I was going to recommend Bagbalm when I read the post title.  Hope yor buddy comes out ok.  Will be darned good hunting in a few years.

Actually the fire started about another mile up the road and has burned almost to woodland road. I have property in that area thankfully mine has so far been spared.The wind is supposed to kick up in the next few days. I am going over wednsday will report back

[firefighter4607]

All the evacuees are able to go back to there homes or what is left. Contianment is at 50% and they have mopped all the way along the fireline into 50 feet. So there is not an active fire line that is burning out of control. The fire hasn't grow in the past 3 days. If you look at the map on the link I provided you should be able to locate where your land is at. I am just glad they have under control finally.

M y property hant been affected thankfully. I am going over to post and check out deer population . The fire may actually put more animals on my place.  I have sveral friends in the area so updates have been fairly accurate. Good luck hunting. The prop you hunt does it border WPT prop?

[firefighter4607]

Nope. We used to have land up around Bowman Creek. We have property around Rock Creek. I am from there and have a few friends that had to leave luckly everyone that I have heard from still has a standing home. My prayers goes out to those who weren't so lucky.

Update! My buddies place was spared. So was the wheat field that we hunt near every year that produces big tasty bucks every year. We had planned on muzzie this year but he does not want us up there that early after the fire but modern firearm is a go and we are very excited! Man I am getting the itch!
