I regularly hunt the areas between Cooke, Coleman and the Colockum drainages. There is a huge amount of fuel in that area. It will probably make my cow tag a lot easier to fill, so there may be an upside. That, or the elk will stay up higher longer, making the regular season pretty easy up there. Worst thing that could happen is that the elk and deer delay their migration down and we get a large die off.

All of our family in the area is either in E-burg, or in the southern portion of the valley. Mom grew up there, and I spent many a summer in E-burg area. That valley is like a second home to me.
