Over 100 structures burned and KC is correct.... just shy of 80,000 acres burned. Terrible wildfire... pray for the firefighters and Colo residents whose homes and business are in the path of the wildfire. HH

The monsoon season can not start too soon. Besides all of the LONG term effects from all these fires, there will be a lot of people that have planned a once in a lifetime hunt that will have a unit with little huntable land, or a lot of permit holders JAMMED in to very little area Last edited by LouisB; 07/04/18.

Rt 160 to open again. Residents of Forbes Park get to view their homes and cabins to see if they survived the wildfire. Over 100,000 acres burned. Approx 35% containment on a whole, but only 19% containment on the South side of Rt 160. The North side of Rt 160 has the most difficult portion of fire fighting due to terrain Please read the article in the above link. HH

Hesp Campfire Regular H Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 2,060 W. Montana	Well it looks like the monsoon rains have now broken the back of the fires here. Been raining every day for days . Looking at the burned area ( upper section of unit 74 ) SW Colorado you can already see new green growth taking place. For the next several years this burned area should be a great spot to hunt. May be great by the time the season opens in Oct.. Don't discount it. My son owns a sizeable piece of land in western Montana & had a fire burn a fair amount of it last year.. No big trees just underbrush & smallish trees. Lots of new growth over the winter & spring. He tells me that now a fair amount of deer , elk & even a couple moose have moved into the area. Keep an eye on these burned areas for future hunts. They are honey holes.
