They no longer burn the clear cut itself just the slash piles.

Just a minor observation here, but it began when the burning of slash in clearcuts was outlawed.

And started using massive amounts of herbicides. Have any of you read the posted signs where they spray? From what I hear some of those herbicides are banned in other countries.

I'm not saying its the sole cause. But I do strongly feel its a big part of the problem.

And why didn’t exist prior to the early 90’s?

Just after the mountain blew.....

It's heartbreaking seeing the elk affected by this, there are times they limp right by my bedroom window, just 3-4 feet away.  It looks so damn painful, every time I see it I tell the wife we should be putting them down.  We need a damn cure and we need the cause!!!

Yep outlawed burning clearcuts. They used to burn the whole cuts after logging. Now they pile up the crap and burn little piles. The burning cured a lot of infestation and diseases the were dispersed by logging operations. It also put a lot of nutrients back into the soils.
