Fire May Be the Only Remedy for a Plague Killing Deer and Elk
chronic wasting disease.

Don't shoot Zombie animals for food.


"They're not hard to pick out at the end stage," Dr. Zabel said. "They have a vacant stare, they have a stumbling gait, their heads are drooping, their ears are down, you can see thick saliva dripping from their mouths. It's like a true zombie disease."

And now much of PacNW forests are in such poor shape and choked with undergrowth a fire would be catastrophic.

This is a recipe for disaster.

Ever hear of the Tillamook burn? I can remember seeing the charred tree stumps and cleared areas for miles

Yeah alot of our forests are almost too overgrown for a prescribed burn.
There was a very good write up in Bugle earlier this year about prescribed burns in Oklahoma I believe.

I think it's about time to GTFO.
