Idaho Fires

That Owyhee Elk Zone is looking better and better.

A year ago there were 4 or 5 $10M+ dollar ranches on Zillow in Owyhee County. Now I find none.

There is a rancher rights guy on FB raising holy hell saying Big Grass is all the Feds fault because of retired grazing allotments.

If it’s not grazed to the dirt or nothing but clearcuts obviously the management is wrong

If you zoom in on that south end, the new heat looks like a firing operation along roads.

10-4
There's a back burn happening in the northeast Hotspot also.

I don't know the # but It has been grazed on the boarder by the same families for my whole life. Payne's, Stanford's, Kershner's, Brasher's, Elordi's. Things looked the same to me.The only real changes I have noticed is that when Pat passed away the 06 moved some rights and possibly property to his hired hand. But it still had cows on it. I didn't see the Blacks or Simplots cows south of mud flat but the fire was stopped right at the edge of that allotment. So that doesn't really support the assumption of no cows = fire.
Everyone is looking for someone else to blame.

Cheat grass invasion is the biggest culprit.
