The three days between the general gener-al elk and deer seasons are targeted for conducting the fire, depending upon weather conditions. Oct 26 has been designated as an alternate date. Several attempts to ignite this area of lodgepole pine forest have been unsuccessful. Spring weather patterns have been too wet, and summerearly fall conditions have been so dry that the risk of an out of control fire was unacceptably high.
