My prayers, thoughts, and vibes are with riverdog and all those affected by the Grand County fires.
I first hunted elk in the Troublesome in the 90s (choked when I had the chance at a nice bull on opening morning - Trail Creek area) and killed my first elk the next year up off CR4. My wife worked at GL Lodge for several summers, and it's glad to hear it's survived, so far. Such a beautiful piece of history. Family owns a place in GL (in town, so ok) and we own a piece of land down by Tabernash.
Grand County has been a tinderbox for 10 years due to the beetle kill. This is so sad. And even more depressing to know it may have been caused by hunters who just had to have a campfire.
