Bighorn Mts Road Closures

[Chief23]

With the start of Elk and Deer season right around the corner. Anyone heading to the Bighorns should be aware of several road closures due to the Elk fire. As of yesterday 14 was closed in both directions from Dayton to Burgess Junction along with several forest service roads. Looks like it may impact Unit 38 the most.

I had a type 9 tag in 38. It was already getting bad on Saturday. I just looked at the fire map. Where I was hunting is burned now. Bad stuff.

Everything north of 14 is closed for hunting in unit 38. Makes the unit a whole lot smaller

I woke up yesterday morning when the email from WYGFD arrived in my inbox informing us of the fire. We are supposed to be leaving Australia in 5 days time! I also drew an Antelope tag down near Cody so whilst I probably meet the requirements to get the elk tag deferred or refunded, I would be throwing my antelope tag in the bin. I will make a call in a couple more days I think. Devastated.
