These fires won't cause any problems with your late season hunt

if there is a wet fall hunt in the ashes.. years ago i hunted in the oak trees in goldendale after a fire.  ash still on the ground but it had rained a lot and the oaks were putting out new growth.. if i could have shot straight i could have killed a buck in 10 minutes.......  spent all day in there ... so fire is good for wildlife
Shoot straight Shoot often

Fires ARE good for wildlife, but they can also burn up a lot of the sagebrush and bitterbrush that they depend on for their winter feed.

The Mrs. and I were headed home to Everett from Oroville Sunday night and got turned around at Azwell Dam due to the fire. I snapped a couple of handheld photos shown below. Headed over the N. Cascades and had a much longer drive...but that's life.

I have heard that sometimes after a big fire, some groups have dumped mushroom spores out of planes in the area :dunno: any one else heard of this?
