I'm sure some of you have been keeping up with the new fires (Wigwam & Monument) in the Gravelly Range in SW Montana. Our home was very close to being evacuated Sunday. Thankfully things are looking a little better the past couple of days. The fires however are burning a lot of ground. The forest service has closed at least half of the entire range. See attached pic. That's everything north of Standard Creek and all the way to the Ruby River to the west. If you were planning on hunting there, you may want to have a backup plan. We are only a couple of weeks away from the opener at this point and I don't know if they will open things up before then.
