Earlier I posted an article and an update about the forest fire on top of Druid Peak. Here is the Official page on the fire with current updates, maps and photos.

Speaking of Druids, Dan Hartman (wildlife photographer just outside the Yellowstone NE Entrance) is reporting that the pack is mangy and in bad shape. See http://wildlifealongtherockies.homestead.com/
Idaho hasn’t had any cases of mange so far as I know, but Montana, Wyoming, and now Yellowstone, have had plenty.
What is the Montana hunt’s procedure if you shoot a mangy wolf? Dealing with that carcass ought to be a lot of fun 🙁
