We currently have multiple large fires in the state. In my experience, Elk May still be in the area if the fire gets out in time for them to move back in. With the three large fires burning right now, I am going to probably guess they won’t be in the area. With the Roosevelt Fire, there has been so much activity in that area and the fire is so large I don’t think you will have large amount of elk in the area. The adjacent areas however may hold more elk than normal. I am a local who has hunted the Roosevelt fire and the fire near Mcdougal for years and I am not planning on going back until next year. Mostly because the fire won’t be out until we get dumped on for snow. If you want to pm me, feel free.
