    Placier ,Snowy, Cool creek and the 2006 Tatoosh all overlapped .That being said there is a lot standing burnt timber that was logged off last winter and will be on going .Some of the areas have burnt several times in a 10 year period so it is looking like a moonscape in a lot of the area that held mule deer and moose.Not many timber pockets left as they are logging those as well.The cool creek fire was mostly first growth timber so a major loss.That is why it burned so hot.It basicly burnt from the Ashnola to the Pasayten and south to the border and Diamond creek burned from the south, northerly over the old 2006 Tatoosh burn and joined the others.

    Cool area, we explored it pretty extensively about 8 years ago. Didn't see a lot of critters but made the mistake of passing on a coyote so I didn't spook the deer. Won't do that again.

    Placer lake was a great place to learn to fly fish, lots of fish in there.

    Watch out for the “mules” smuggling drugs and guns across the boarder.

    I have hunted the area in last couple seasons. 1 Trip a year type thing to scout. Half the area is Scorched earth and half is growing up a bit. Have seen a couple spikes in the last two seasons one I shot. Game cam hasn’t picked up anything other than some smaller bucks spike fork horns in the last 2 years

    Would be good if some of that was seeded to grass and natural regen instead of lumber pine

    look at BC Gov Tile Cache and pan around to Flat Top Mtn
    Check the Satellite tab, but its not clear when the pic was taken

    Good place to hunt wolves, they ate lots of animals from there , that’s why you see many in Princeton and farms around the city..
