Fremont/Winema Forest now closed to all access in OR.
Gonna hit the lake tonight to get one more day of fishing before they close that forest.

Wouldn’t a season closure dictate our land uses? After all, we ARE most commonly referring to land use FOR hunting purposes…
It is not explicitly geared towards hunting. To my knowledge, other than California, there are no seasons open yet. Pretty hard for me to fish the St Joe up high when the forest service road is closed. Or, float the Grand Ronde when the Umatilla Forest is closed.
Apples and oranges. This thread is about land use restrictions.

I could google this and figure it out for myself, but wasn't that when a good portion of YNP burned? I can remember that fire from when I was a little whipper-snapper.
Yes, and an enormous fire in the Scapegoat Wilderness.

I also seem to remember a giant fire over by Chelan that year. For some reason I remember N. Idaho being very very smokey.
All DNR-managed lands in eastern WA closed this Friday.

2000 I believe. No rain all spring or summer.

They talked about delaying the archery season for a week a couple of years ago too. It never made public news because it didn't happen, but a lot of BM in central MT closed for archery because it was so dry. It seems to be a more frequent occurrence.
Also, I think changes since 2000 make what hunters did then impossible now. All we can do is hope it rains. Maybe the extreme weather will do a 180 and we will get gully washers in August.

Fireweed, aspen, willow and other shrubs, and pine seedlings are coming in very well considering the heat that fire put out.

Enjoying our garden across the board a month early due to the last 6 weeks of heat and daily water. Small consolation.
Having flashbacks recently of my summer of '88 working construction in YNP.
Pretty doubtful we see a change until mid September. I think I remember one summer ( '93 maybe) when rain kept up for the bulk of the summer months.

Taken in August 2000. Bitterroot river between Conner and Sula. This amazing photo was on the cover of the RMEF magazine years ago.
That was the same year as the Mussigbrod Fire, correct? Or maybe that WAS that fire. It was the following year the Custer torched.

And just like that. We are starting to get a nice little afternoon shower here in the Bitterroot. Lightning along with the rain unfortunately.
There are a few new additions to inciweb today. I expect many more by Saturday.

I remember it was 2000 when bow season was closed. Below is a comparison of yr2000 vs this year near the same time frame. It will be an interesting time for sure considering the politics that will be involved.
