I have a antlerless archery tag for early August in the Coon Canyon area of Unit 1. Coming from out of state and never been to the area. No scouting has been done due to the Wallow fire. Any insight or information on the current condition of the area would help in calming my nerves. To top it off this is also my first elk hunt. Anyone been to the area? Any scouting done? Thanks!

Sounds like I've stumbled into a sensitive subject. I know very little about the nature of the Wallow fire but I do know that it was one of if not the most devistating fires in Arizona history. I assume you are refering to a mismanagement of the fire and coming from a state that deals with wildfires yearly I can say I was surprised at how this fire spread and the lack of effect some of the backfires appeared to have. Not an expert on fires or elk hunting and I do apreciate the input. Thanks
