If it's east of Leadore it's Unit 30 or 30a

It's 14700 acres and has been burning for 9 days. Anyone who gives half a chit is well aware of it's existence.

The news here in Montana just says the Salmon area. No smoke so kinda out of sight out of mind. As far as I'm concerned fires are usually a good thing for habitat so unless homes and or structures are in danger a couple years from now what's burning could be a good place to hunt.

I do feel bad for the people down wind that have to live with the smoke though. Been there done that and don't like it.

That fire is 18 miles northwest of Leadore. It looks like it’s burning in a burn scar. Know that country well. Burning in Hayden Creek, to the North and South.

My mistake, it is West of Leadore.

I hope it doesn't get through Big Eightmile.

Looks like that fire has burned over the top to the west into the Pahsimeroi Valley. They don’t get a handle on it, there’s going to be a lot of country shut down for elk hunting this year!

Thanks for the info Tank. My son was a HotShot for the last 22 years. Started with Snake River. Then Asst. super for Midewin IHC, and Super for Craig IHC. He just switched into Equipment and Logistics here at NIFC, so they can buy and supply what the guys really need on the line!!!!

Could see it burning up high in Morse Cr, Pahsimeroi side today with some gusty afternoon winds.

24k acres now. All in unit 29. Maybe it'll help adjacent units since those animals have to go somewhere.

Except for the part burning in unit 37a.

Spoke with the ranger station Friday and they said they're letting it do its thing. They backburned a perimeter and said it's contained for the most part. She did say it burned really lot in a few areas, but I'm betting it'll be a solid start for the archery guys next year.
