Wildfire in the Nile

[yajsab]

Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere.

Anyone has a view of the fire?  How bad is it?  It's getting near bow season and really nervous that my tag (and some) will go down the drain this year.  Sure, we can turn it in but then there is no hunt, especially when we have been prepping for a year for this.

Thanks for any encouragement anyone can chime in.  Reading the status on the web doesn't help at all.

are you talking about the schneider springs fire or is there a new fire?

Gonna be tough, 0%  containment and thing at around 18,000 acres, probably wont be out till fall or rains/snow come.

The entire Nile unit appears to be completely closed at this point.  They expanded the closure area.
