For those not familiar with what this is.

Urea is an inexpensive form of nitrogen fertilizer with an NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) ratio of 46-0-0. Although urea is naturally produced in humans and animals, synthetic urea is manufactured with anhydrous ammonia.

So if it’s safe, why evacuate the area?

So this just had to happen during the modern firearm Elk season?

  Im dont know that it is any worse for a person than any other nitro fertilizer , but can smell like a meth lab for miles .

No Anhydrous ammonia is not safe at all.  They put that stuff in the corn fields back in the Midwest. I walked into some vapors once that were leaking from a tanker and it nearly killed me.

Yet they spread this stuff over all the deer, elk, grouse, and other wildlife and think nothing of it. Then expect hunters to pay to access their land to hunt sick or non-existent wildlife.

Yes this is nasty stuff.  This is from the MSDS sheet.

Statement of Health Hazard

Hazard Description
Ammonia is an irritant and corrosive to the skin, eyes, respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Exposure to liquid or rapidly expanding gases may cause severe chemical burns and frostbite to the eyes, lungs and skin. Skin and respiratory related diseases could be aggravated by exposure.
• Not recognized by OSHA as a carcinogen
• Not listed in the National Toxicology Program
• Not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer

Emergency Treatment

Effects of Overexposure
Eye: May cause severe irritation, eye burns or permanent eye damage.
Skin: Irritation, corrosive burns, blister formation may result. Contact with liquid may produce a caustic burn and frostbite.
Inhalation: Exposure may result in severe irritation and / or burns of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. It may cause bronchospasm, pulmonary edema or respiratory arrest. Extreme exposure may result in death from spasm, inflammation or edema. Brief inhalation exposure to 5,000 ppm may be fatal.
Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely since the material is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions. If ingested, it may cause burns and severe pain of the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach or may be fatal.

Will this affect the wolves in the area that there not telling us about???😳🙀

[slowhand]

Sweet My area is not on the list 

[highbuckklr]

Maybe not in your area, but now everyone that usually hunts those areas are now in your area.

[slowhand]

I doubt that, I maybe see two other people all day. Always in the morning.
I hunt 8+ miles behind the gate. Most people would not even consider it. 

[highbuckklr]

Then you are probably good to go - good luck this week.
