This closure affects hunter access to portions of Units 27, 34, and 36, which includes a small portion of the Sawtooth Elk Zone. All National Forest Service roads and trails within the Emergency Area Closure are closed.
Hunters in the area should be aware of the closure and plan their hunts accordingly. Fish and Game staff updated the agency's Idaho Fire Map tool on Friday afternoon to reflect the expanded area closure
