Nice! What’s your dates on that tag And are you familiar with the unit?
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.

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

Anyone have insight on the fire? I am one of the 3 archery bull tag holders. Totally bummed right nowyou're not SOL. You can turn a special permit back in for ANY REASON up to 2 weeks prior to the opening of your season for points restoration.

But also, I've seen elk right back into burned areas immediately after fire crews leaving. Like still smoldering roots. They will be licking on the burnt stumps. A few well timed rains and that burn scar will have new sprouts coming up in September.
Point being, don't lose hope guys.

Forecast for tomorrow is calling for stronger winds out of the west tomorrow and Friday. If they can’t hold the line at the road from Indian Tom, it could burn all of the NF in the unit.

like Karl said, you’re no where near SOL. I had a tag in there the last time they had a big fire and could turn it in until two weeks prior to the hunt. And that was before you could do that with any tag without a special situation.Anyone have insight on the fire? I am one of the 3 archery bull tag holders. Totally bummed right nowyou're not SOL.

:yeah: Best elk hunting I have seen in 162 was the year of the last big fire in there. They are so much easier to see moving across a burnt hillside. ;)Anyone have insight on the fire?

Banking on that... I really don't want to turn in a quality bull tag. The other HuntWA members on here who I am talking to have been very positive and helpful. Great community we have here!

I want to leave a comment to ask how the elk are doing, but I think that is the last of their concerns right now.
