we have permission slips for 2 hma areas so far, and a few different areas picked out in public to check out. I expect company since I am sure the fire will have relocated quite a few hunters besides us. Not against paying access fees on private if it is not outragous.
Good luck b65 I to am heading on my first elk hunt and feel the anticipation as well. The year has went by fast but now it feels like I'm in slow motion. It can't come soon enough!
