Title: Fire Danger Closures
Post by: grundy53 on July 09, 2012, 03:15:37 PM: Since we are expected to have a long dry spell I was wondering if we could get a post stickied and have someone post everytime there is a closure. They can give the area, company and closure date. Then another post when it gets opened up. I think this will help a lot of people. Especially those who have to drive quite a ways to scout their hunting area. Does this sound like something we could do or would it be a waste of time?

Post by: billythekidrock on August 18, 2012, 08:30:43 AM: I think a temporry sticky thread for fire closures is a great idea, but it would have to be accurate information from the source. Somethings like links or phone numbers would need to be provided so others can verify or get updated info.
