Guess that'll mean a big die off of game then...... what a bloody shame and an equal shame if it takes the lives of humans......

We've had a dryish summer until now - but had tremendous rains last night. My rain gauge overflowed at 4 inches so I don't know how much we had but it was a hell of a lot. KZN province seems to have had even more than we did here....

Hope you're enjoying West Africa.....

Hot and dry year this year so probably will be more fires.

A plus for bushfires (ie other than the huge negative effects) in Sambar country is while deer and other wildlife might be killed or injured, when the re-growth starts it is magnet for deer to feed in.

Its a bloody tragedy that could have been avoided if controlled burning was carried out in Autumn after the first rains instead of a bunch of arsehole government greeny departments telling country people that controlled burning should be done coming into summer and then cancelling it because it is to dry.
John the regrowth bush is rubbish bush that is not of any use either for man or beast.
Iff you think I am pissed off you are right.
I was born in the High Country at Dargo and these fires are cutting me to the bone!!!!!!!!!!!
The area burnt is some of the best sambar country in the world.
