I think Hunting season for archery is open for bear and a few other animals. However, here are my thoughts in general (I live right by this fire)
I disagree with the premise and wording of this article. It would be more accurate to say that a hunter sparked the flame, but the huge, out of control, catastrophic wildfire was CAUSED by years and years of mismanagement and neglect of the national forests in our area. It is probably fair to say that the fire problem was EXACERBATED (made worse) by the absolutely never ending regulations that limit reasonable logging on private land.
It is time to have a public conversation about the absolute disaster that our bureaucracy CAUSED by over regulation, lack of management and disastrous decisions on every level.

Off the record comment from a state forest service official in Idaho last summer:
“We’d be a lot better off if we shipped all the tree huggers out and gave every swinging D*ck in the state a free chainsaw from Home Depot and turned him loose on the public lands.”
