If he's in his guillie suit sweating it out for that Forky With his bow...he's a goner...damn .

 

[GUNDOGLOVER49]

Oh man, prime deer country going up in flame.

 

[sdolan617]

Blew up quick, taken from my porch…

 

[TrapLine]

Right on the evac line






Lots of fuel, this is what its heading into right now. What do you think 3-5 year closure.

 

[WaterDawg]

Holy Jim area. Again.

100%, Holy Jim fire was ~4 years before a limited "reopening"

Saddleback Peak going to look like Mount Doom when the sun goes down.

Big time... Obligatory disclaimer that obviously I don't want to see any CALFIRE boys get hurt or structures lost but if it were to jump the ridgeline south along the bellview trail there's a lot of area in that drainage west of los pinos peak trail that could use a good burn...

 

[GUNDOGLOVER49]

Anyone nearby, If you get an order to get out, GET OUT. Stay safe guys.

Taken as of 9pm on my way home from work at Chiquita and los patrones, active areas appear to be bell view ridge trail on the southern edge, Santiago peak (shown in the center) and the lower elevation shown on the left which I assume is north side of Trabuco creek drainave.. no vis from this vantage deeper into the drainage but assume that’s cooking

They were having fun yesterday.... Firehawks!

This will be my first year hunting D15. Had a good spot picked out so I’m hoping it doesn’t get destroyed. How has the forest service handled closures and hunting season in the past after a season like this?

 

[Bowman]

Do to erosion, they close it as they see fit, could be 1 year or could be 3 years. It depends on the biologists

Time to start looking for a new spot if it's any where close to the burn. Here's the closure map from the 2018 Holy fire which burned the same general area. The area in yellow stayed closed from 2018 through 2021.

After it opens again it should be a great hunting spot. New growth, and plenty to eat for them. They love to roll in the Ash, it kills the ticks.

 

[Bowman]

And in the cool of the day they will be easy to spot. In the brush they blend so well, they blend in perfectly.

as of right now the spot is 5 miles away and opposite direction of the wind is blowing so I’m crossing my fingers. Just hoping they don’t shut down the area if it gets close to the spot.
