Hunt went great! Fire was far enough away that we didn’t even notice it. Could see smoke off in the distance on the drive in but no sight/smell ~15mi south of them. Saw elk, bear & deer; they didn’t seem phased either.
I’ll be out there tomorrow and plan to find out. Optimistically hoping the big Quartz Ridge fire pushes them my direction, but worried they pushed out of the area I want to hunt. Forestry office said it was contained to the North and could only move south.
