I have a first rifle tag in GMU 82. Last week a lightening strike on the border of GMU 86/82 ignited this fire. Containment isnt projected until 10/01/2016. Which is two weeks from first rifle. Forest service isn't fighting the fire at altitude so winds could carry it into 82. I expect the fire to burn until first heavy snow.

My questions are will the elk completely flee both GMUs to get away from the fire/smoke? Should I turn in this LE tag for an OTC?
