Fire is growing quick. 2200+ acres looks like the whole town is under go status. Not good

New fire in Ruidoso today. Started on the rez looks like and evacuating upper canyon and Brady canyon.

Not sure how hot but I can’t imagine it being it too terrible since it was in an old burn scar. They got rain on the fire yesterday and today hopefully we get some early monsoons to get stuff greened up.

Seems like it’s mostly getting mopped up now. They got some rain yesterday evening so hopefully that helps, sounds like the team that came in is leaving in a couple days and now it’s clean up and restoring the lines to natural. Going up in a few weeks to do some more scouting

I saw a few in there last year while scouting for elk. I’ll pm you the road number

Looks like they got a handle on the blue 2 fire. Some evacuations have been lifted and showing 59% contained. Praise the lord nobody lost a home or any valuables.

Ya I guess I have never actually had one in a unit I have tags for in the fall. Kinda bummed they closed off half the access to the mountain until August, might only have two options to get back in there for some scouting trips.

Man what a bummer it’s taken over all that area, sure hope nobody loses a home over there. This was south fork and blue front last October

Yes sir I noticed that onx was saying double what everyone else was reporting. They are saying it’s hard to get an accurate estimate with all the smoke. What a bummer, I’m heading up there right now with the kiddos.

Yes sir no bueno. Saying it’s 700+ acres now, almost down towards southfork. Hopefully they can contain it between fs rd 107 and skirun road

Ya I was reading this morning that they closed a bunch of trails as of yesterday and that they closed Bonita. Man I sure hope it doesn’t get out of control, it sure is hot and windy down here hope we get some moisture soon. Here is one of the websites I like to use if anybody is interested...

Haha ya idk how well he is gonna fair out there, they are more of the sXs road hunting and big trailer kind of hunters. Not sure why he put in for the wilderness, I’m sure they will day hunt 1-3 miles. I definitely wanna go help and check out that unit I have never been in there before.

Ya seems like there is always a fire in b. My friends brother drew the late rifle elk hunt, might go with them and check it out.

The time I have spent in 37 has been in the wilderness. Saw deer in the lower country on the way up and saw some bucks way up top in the wilderness but it was as in September, don’t know what happens in October-November. See if you can find the buck, He had a decent frame, not a monster but not...

Ya I really hope that’s not the case for the blue fire but who knows. Ya that one in 34 is scary and pretty close to a lot of homes which isn’t good. My buddy sent me this picture near his cabin yesterday

Did you have an archery tag last year??

Good food for thought, I’m sure the age class got hit hard with that much more land being glass-able/hunt able during the muzzle and rifle hunts. Man I hope it’s not the land of 5x5s I’ll be in there the first archery hunt. Yes that small fire is what I’m watching now, not too concerned because...

Does anybody else watch the fire season in Nm like a hawk or is just me?? Idk why I follow it so much it’s out of my control and not a dang thing I can do about it. A little fire started up in my elk unit, not crazy worried about it because it’s in an old burn anyways but non the less I’m still...

Thanks, just ordered one, thanks for the promo

Yes sir I got mine probably a week after the draw.

Yes sir he was a jagd/airedale cross, second one I have had. Yes sir what you have heard is right they are gamey as all get out, all the wanna do is hunt or hump something. I don’t have any of them anymore but will get another one in the future. They need to be hunted hard, I liked both of mine...

Ya I ended up getting a 6400. Best pack I could get that I could afford, didn’t really wanna spend 700-900 for a new pack. 6400 should be plenty big for what I do, pretty excited to load it up and hit the mountain.

Ended up getting a stone archer 6400. Basically priced in half and it still had tags, couldn’t beat the price so I jumped on it. Just so happens I drew a wilderness elk tag here in Nm so I’ll be putting it to use all summer leading up to the hunt.

Sorry for your loss. My copper is 10 this coming May and she isn’t getting any faster. She has been with me everywhere since I got her and we have had our share of adventures together, can’t imagine life without her.

Ya we have had great bugling action two years in a row on the first hunts but on the other side of the state. Hoping we encounter the same kind of action but we shall see, like you said, get where the elk aren’t bothered. Lucky for me it’s only a 2 hour drive to the mountain so I’ll be up there...
