Title: Wildfire in the Nile
Post by: yajsab on August 16, 2021, 11:47:38 AM: 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. :'(
