Hope everybody made it through the fires.

It was headed for our place between Post Oak and Jacksboro. The wind switched directions last night and it stopped 1 ranch away from us. It was wide enough it probably would have covered the entire 630 acres.

A 10K acre ranch down the road from us was about 90% burned. Don't know if they lost any structures.

yea, its not looking good

Good and bad...

bad-stuff gets burnt up
good-it'll grow right back even greener

hi fellow thf buddy i have a lease close to you and havent made it up to check if the fire reached it. im at intesection of crooked creek / campsey off 59 do u know if it made it there

One up side to the fires is that it should produce some great racks when the new browse starts to grow! Just look at the place that buned in Carbon, and the buck it produced afterwards!

rofd1734, I have to go check on my f-i-l on Crooked Creek .I'll report to you later.

ok thanks i appreciate that alot

They evacuated parts of turkey creek south of me and hudson oaks just east of me a couple of miles. I am away at work and heard it on the radio, so I called my wife to see if everything was ok, and she was like "yeah, why do you ask?" I was like have you even looked outside and when she did she said there was smoke everywhere. She had no idea, lol.

rofd1374 , your place is OK !!!

Hell i fought fire until 3 that morning . their aint no telling how much burned in archer county . I would have to say an easy 20,000 acres in that one fire and 10,000 the week before .
thank god it rained but we need more fo shore

In 10 days Jack Cty has lost about 65,000 acres from 3 fires. The Two Bush fire near Gibtown (18,000+), Roberts Branch fire (16,000+), and Cement Mtn Fire (31,000+). When the rains came about 3:30 Sunday a.m. at our place it smelled like ash instead of good smelling spring rains. We did get 1 1/2" of rain though.
