Title: Spokane West tag holders.
Post by: Elkslayer on August 17, 2021, 07:32:17 AM: I’d be turning my tag back in if it was me! Pretty much all the good moose habitat is gone in this area. There’s still some to the north of the fire but it’s pretty much all private and could still burn up as well. This tag won’t be worth much for quite a few years now.

If they get a line around it and stop it from spreading any further north he still has a pretty decent area to hunt. We got some rain last night that helped calm it down quite a bit.
