Ya I know. We got dropped in the Church a few years ago during fire season. Took em 2 days to get us in and 2 to get us out. We where hunting next to smoldering trees. I'm just worried about the Nov season. No browse means no animals. Crossing our fingers. Our current planned access point is closed right now, glad we decided against the Sept season.
