Wyoming region D fire.

I just wanted to pass on some info out there. If anyone was planning on hunting region D this year we had a wildfire that started on Saturday June 30th. Right now its on the eastern side of the mountains. The problem is the forest is dead. We have over 70% beetle killed trees up there so this fire could get out of hand in a hurry.

Just looked this up on the Inciweb Wildfire info website. Looks like it is up to 75000+ acres with no end in sight.

Only good thing about it is fires help get rid of beatles but the way the entire state is going up there won't be any trees for the beatles to kill anymore

Hopefully some rain will slow down the progression of this fire and give FF a chance to make up some ground!
