Got into Custer Tuesday and there was a little smoke in the Black Hills. Tuesday night a 60 mph wind took the fire across the entire park and out through the Wind Caves and private land. 3rd largest fire in modern Black Hills history.
The southern 2/3 of the park is blacker than coley's azz and they're going to have to feed most of the animals through the winter or they're dead. we didn't see any burnt bison but I saw pictures fire fighters took of dead deer and elk. it's pretty sad.
I was supposed to hunt Wed-Fri but didn't get to go in the until Friday. we found some good bulls in the few unburnt areas and I took a B&C bull with the nicest cape I've seen in this area. they usually rub all their hair of on the pines.
Anyway it turned out okay in the end. but of all the things that can go wrong a forest fire the week before Christmas in South Dakota was the last thing I would have considered.

A lot of the trees are dead. but the grass for the most part may be the best in years given the right spring conditions.
Unfortunately lack of feed wasn't an issue that the park had to deal with anyway on a regular year so the loss is a true loss.
It will take a lot of hay to get the animals through. I'm not sure how they're going to fund it but I'm sure it will be done.
