trouthunterdjThat's to bad. Did any ranches or home burn? We have hunted that area since 1993. After the bad spring storms the last several years there was too much fuel in the Forest. The Long Pines fire several years ago was terrible also.
I had heard Blue tongue hit this year also. SouthEast Montana is getting hammered

Paul TunkisThere was amajor fire there, Ashland district this spring/early summer, burned 10K's of acres north of 212 and as I recall a bit south also. Since this is mostly pondarosa forest, some tree cover might recover. I usually go there in the spring and will have to see what it's like then.
