Thanks for the replies guys. I know about how variable the weather can be this time of year. This will be my sixth hunt in Region R since '98. I even lived in the Cheyenne area (Francis E. Warren AFB)for a few years many, many moons ago.

I was more concerned with what the weather has been doing up to now. Maybe I didn't phrase my question very well. What I'd like to know is if there has been any sudstantial snowfall up in the Cloud Peak and what moisture levels have been like. I had seen mention of some recent fires in the Bighorn Forest. Does anyone know the locations of the fires, and how extensive they were? Is there any type of prohibition on open fires or cutting wood in place?

Any information is greatly appreciated.
