Gut Pile Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Much of Unit 27 is burning by the Wallow fire near Alpine and Hannegans Meadow. This is heartbreaking for the many great folks that live near there. My thoughts are with those who have been or will be evacuated. It's such a beautiful area up there. My dad and I love hunting in 27 for turkeys and have hunted there for years. I killed my first big Tom in there this past April. Sad to see that my favorite turkey spots are no more. I hope in the long run the forest will grow back stronger and will be just as beautiful.

BeardownAZ Report post Posted June 24, 2011 With exception of houses, property and the tall pines being burned, I think it will all be for the better despite it being hard to see right now. It seems most areas comeback better than they where before the fire. Just gotta give it a few years to get rain and some grass and shrubs growing again. Animal wise, things will be good again.
