Fire Surrounding My Entire Sheep Area

[Idaho Predator Control 1]

According to the website idahoforests.org/fire_links.htm the trails around and through this unit are slowly being closed due to the middle fork complex fires. The trail in from the Crags CG is still open but not looking good. I think accessing from the middle fork of the Salmon river may be closed also. Guess I might have to take Skydive lessons to access the unit.

Might want to read "Young Men and Fire" by Normal Maclean before you do that!

Sheep hunters may owe the universe a tragedy.

Those fires may be to your advantage.

In past fire years, they extended seasons. Those years saw higher success rates with the sheep closer to the river.

I'd be getting a petition letter ready.

Hope you can get into your area. Many years ago my friend had a sheep tag and we had to leave the
area due to fire.

This! I know of a very good ram shot in the extended portion of the season. Hire/find someone to take you down the river in a raft if you aren't familiar with rowing one.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys. There first going to have to put the fire out that is at the river. I'm hoping that the fire chases the Sheep up hill this year especially because I seem to have misplaced my helicopter.
