Hi just letting out of staters that drew unit 36 in NM it is currently on fire. New mexico is in a extreme drought
 
They indicate it has already burned 4000+ acres west of the 2012 burn so far. 0% containment. Not looking good for unit 36.
 
Im surprised I didnt draw that tag then. That would have been my luck, Draw tag and unit closed due to fires.
 
OMG I hope the cat mans trailer didn't burn
 
Looks like the forest service just closed the Wilderness area in Unit 36 through December 31,2021 due to the current fire. Hopefully they will open things before September, but figured those of you with tags would want to know...
