Fire Danger Closures

[grundy53]

Since we are expected to have a long dry spell I was wondering if we could get a post stickied and have someone post everytime there is a closure. They can give the area, company and closure date. Then another post when it gets opened up. I think this will help a lot of people. Especially those who have to drive quite a ways to scout their hunting area. Does this sound like something we could do or would it be a waste of time?

I think a temporry sticky thread for fire closures is a great idea, but it would have to be accurate information  from the source. Somethings like links or phone numbers would need to be provided so others can verify or get updated info.

a question about woods & steal (sp) a friend that hutns over there but is not a member of this site is wondering if that area was closed its by clellum i guess, i told him this is the only time i would ask because he is a non-member and i told him if i find out he has to become a member  , and also i heard that hancock is shutdown again  hopefully we get  some good rain before this weekend....
