I'd say both, but more so to your advantage as smoke is a great scent cover. The disadvantage is being in the smoke.

Post by: PlateauNDN on August 24, 2013, 12:50:31 PM: I agree with bugle and this is coming from someone that was at conrad working before getting reassigned to eagle. THERE IS NO THREAT IN MY OPINION, and IF there is that my is completely surrounded by a contingency plan that's its not going anywhere. The entire time I was there you could barely see smoke and we were on the other ridgeside of the fire and the entire time I was there it only grew 100 acres. Its a big unit and smoke isn't a problem and neither are the elk so quit worrying about it. :tup:
