Grizzly Bear Fire-Wenaha

Knowing my luck I'll do the opposite and hope it doesn't rain. Then it will pour down real soon

This sucks, I love that Troy and grouse flas area. Hope the residents are safe!

Anyone know if the area around diamond peak burned as well?  Doesn't look like it on the thermal map, but just wondering?

The neighbors by our cabin decided it would be nice to have a big raging campfire last night

Here's a view today looking south towards the Grizzly fire.  Not much to see with the smoke.

Gonna be really interesting to see what the number of elk killed by the fire is. Hoping for the best, but as fast as it was moving I fear the worst.

I'm not very familiar with fire kills, I assumed deer and elk would move out fast enough before the fire got to them. Anyone have experience/info with this? Loss of habitat I would assume would be the primary cause of losing animals.

Wow. I had no clue fires would kill animals like that. Figured they would for sure make it out, most at least. 79 deer he counted thAts crazy. Really unfortunate that methow herd is going to be hurt bad. Hope they don't give out another 1000 antlerless tags

I hope there are some management changes in some of these areas to better protect and utilize these resources.

Something has to change.  Our State's worst, most damaging fires have been over the last 10 +/- years.  This can't be a coincidence when looking at the changes they have implemented in this time frame.
