Was out in various parts of the Gila over the weekend, primarily west part of 17, north part 21a, and Eastern part of 16c, and man is it looking rough. Tons of dry tanks, vegetation looks beat down bad by being over grazed, fires all around the area, especially with the start of a new one in 16c (Dalton Fire). Planes were flying each day I was there, dropping whatever it is they do on these fires. Temperature in truck read 101 at times in 16c, lack of moisture is obvious as Ive seen these areas greener in November then they are now. I have hunted these areas for the last 17 years and this is probably the worst condition I've seen it in. Hopefully these temps come down quick, or the early sept. boys are in for a hot one, with a bunch of quiet elk.
