I could see the fired cresting the ridge from my house last night.  I live 40 miles away in the Wenas.  I’m not sure if it was Bethel or what.   Was just surprised to see flames torching the ridgeline

Read that the backburning, establishing black lines, started yesterday up on Bethel Ridge. According to Friday eve fire report/review, this will occur all along the top of Bethel, past the Microwave Tower to Cash Prairie.

Makes sense.   About the right time of day.   A little sketch on letting it crown the way the wind was blowing .

hunting the 356-360 for many years...

I'm wondering where the elk will move as the backcountry summer range (William O. Douglas wilderness) continues to burn.
Perhaps west of Bumping Lake area, Indian Creek #1308 or Mosquito Valley (backcountry) or perhaps move over and down toward White Pass>upper Cowlitz/Packwood.

The winter migration to Oak Creek could be very interesting...

Maybe the winter elk count will be more accurate this year

:'( I have a Q-Bull archery for Bethel. I don't see it opening up by the 11th or anytime through the end of the month. They have closed off all access to the unit from all sides. guess I will probably turn in my tag and hope for another miracle draw. Really bummed.

Looks like I'm going to return my Q- tag for Bethel archery. Just heard back from the Aschinder fire folks and they said there will be no access north of hwy 12 to the 360 area this month and possibly Oct. Definitely no access from the north as they do cleanup after the fact. FS said possibly no access for up to 9 months.  :'(

USFS district ranger in charge released statement:
"The main interior fire area will be closed until probably 1st good snow. For next 2 months, teams will be working to remove hazards, rebuild road systems damaged from heavy equipment in fighting the fire. Hope to have roads repaired, trails cleared by snow mobile season...."

Tonight I listened to a 3 hour webinar on the fire conservation efforts. Most attending were government officials, some large parcel land owners and.....logging companies. Like Boise Cascade, log salvage companies, lumber mills.
guess what #1 concern was?
>>>>how can they access to log timber, what sections would be for a fire sales, how would salvage timber affect their open logging status quotas etc, etc.

I asked in CHAT/Q&A session when the fire interior area, most of GMU-360 & 356, would be reopened due to hunting seasons, permits etc. They couldn't provide an answer.
