lancetkenyon Report post Posted June 9, 2017 I have a 7E early rifle bull, and 3 late rifle bull tags in 7W to try and get filled. But, more importantly, God be with the firefighters risking their lives to put it out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertBull Report post Posted June 9, 2017 Isn't that mostly dead standing timber from a previous fire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz Report post Posted June 9, 2017 Too many fires at once- this is ridiculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted June 9, 2017 Too many fires at once- this is ridiculous! Hopefully no one loses property or most importantly life but I have no problem with fires in uninhabited areas. Especially old growth timber and manzanita. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave King Report post Posted June 9, 2017 Yes it's in the old burn on the north side of the mountain. Saw it last week while out looking at antelope. From where it's at it shouldn't have much of an impact on anyone's hunt. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpriest Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Drove out there yesterday and watched it from Kendrick Park. Seemed like it was just creeping along the north west side of the mountain burning through the previously dead and down timber. The way it was looking it seemend like it would benefit the area the way it was going then hurt it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted June 21, 2017 It was still burning yesterday as I came down the 89.The signs said to avoid the 180, but didn't call it closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted August 17, 2017 Anybody know the status of the Government Fire burning between Government Prairie and Sitgreaves Mtn? Last thing we need is more area closed by the Forest Circus. FYI the whole Kendrick Mountain area is closed from the Boundary Fire and won't open until the middle of October. Anybody want to come right out and admit whether or not they plan on adhering to the closure? Had some plans for that area and planned on getting in there after it opened but that won't be until after our early archery hunt. Back to the drawing board. If anyone wants to chat 7W via PM please message me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Az_Outdoors Report post Posted August 18, 2017 I'm pretty sure the Government fire is out. There was a good amount of rain in the area last Saturday and Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
