3-30 last years fires

[dargis]

I haven't been to Clinton since before last years fires. Has anyone been in that area between mound road and loon lake? I under stand there's no ORV's now. Just wondering if we should try a new spot. Thanks for any help

I was just there this weekend drove from loon lake to mound rd it has greened up pretty good , some areas burnt worse than others but they are logging up there quite a few clearcut areas up top, didnt see a single animal but i drove it at 11 am.

I’m here right now, there logging 24/7 on the north end of the Loon Lake/Mounds road, we haven’t seen an animal here, not a grouse not even a coyote, did see 6 sheep and a collared doe with 3 fawns on the north side of Mounds Ranch

Have driven back and forth before daylight and after dark and still haven’t seen any deer or even a set of tracks in the mud crossing the roads ???

Ive never seen it this bleak, hopefully it’s just the 24/7 logging and or the shitty weather ? We’re actually switching areas today.

Thanks for the report WF, are they logging the burn or new cuts, good luck only takes 1 to make it happen

Your welcome, They’re logging the burnt tree’s, I’m not sure there is any live Timber left on the plateau !

Hmm thanks might be time to look for a different spot. Is 3-31 across the highway alright? I heard that there was a lot more private land on that side?

yup lots of prime hunting on the west side but gaining permission to hunt it is not easy,bucks migrate right thru those 2 mu's

I have prolly hunted that area more than any other in BC...pretty sad to hear it is in such a state but as we all know, the green up will be a fantastic food source for awhile

The game is really sparse around Loon, usually see lots of deer around and now hardly any, fires probably pushed them out to another area?

I thought 3-30 was doing well, saw lots of mule deer, no 4 pt bucks lol but seen deer,we were north east in the region, but did hunt the south parts as well and seen deer in our go to spots.
