Post by: buglebuster on August 10, 2013, 02:31:12 PM: Ive seen some trees, a few rocks, and a bunch of bushes. :chuckle:

In all seriousness i wouldnt worry about scouting for a cow. You have along time from now untill then and alot of hunting pressure. The elk will not be doing the same thing now as they will at the end of october.

Yeah, over 600acres burned. Fire is on west side of Conrad Meadows near Conrad Lake. It's burning on steep hillside and seems to be working it's way up on top into Goat Rocks Wilderness/Pinegrass Ridge area. Went from 20 fire fighters on Saturday/Sunday, 45 Monday, to 150 today including some Hot Shot crews. Type III incident response and upgrading to Type II tomorrow. Looks like they are throwing resources at it, but can't really fight it until it gets up on top, as it's too steep and dangerous for ground crews.
