Cherry Lake near Cranbrook

[.330 Dakota]

So, I received some advice from a long standing Member here, and we are going to try our luck this fall for Elk in the Cherry Lake area, south east of Cranbrook. Region 4-3
Does anyone know of that area has been logged in the last few years? I tried Googling it,, nothing remotely related to logging comes up. Google Earths imagery is from 1985, and shows tons of cutblocks that I must assume are grown in thick now. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance

Logging in the area has been pretty active in the last five years

Cherry Lake was extensively logged after the 1000 hectare fire in 2015, but the regrowth has been tremendous.

Cut blocks are great, find one with a good slope and a hidden part that no one sees from the roads and landings. In a dry hot year look for north slope bedding areas above the blocks. Duly note that the cranbrook area is heavily hunted by locals and traveling sportsmen. The elk population is 1/4 of what is was in the 2000s. You will have to work for it. Happy hunting.

Hopefully they get that new fire under control in that area. They just placed a restriction of some of the area around there.
