I guess it would depend on how many points you have.  I didn't have that many, so I would roll the dice with the conditions over trying to draw it again.
only 5 ,so im in the same boat. Might as well try and make the best of whats available out there.

Has it been confirmed that WR archery tags are being refunded points?  Looks like all forest service roads in the whole unit are closed for fire danger -- even on the far west side.  With Hancock closed, that leaves no roads that are accessible???

As of yesterday, I talked to a guy/gal with the WR Rut Rifle tag and the wife told me they had not been offered the refund of points. I was surprised being that the entire unit was closed. I have the Muzzy Peaches Tag (quality) and mine was offered up as a refund....Hmmm :dunno:

Rifle tag is a bit out.  I suppose it is a wait and see.  I would think by that time they might have it open.  Weather seems to cooperating.  Extended forecast doesn't look to bad either.

White River rifle is September 25th, Peaches Ridge muzzleloader is September 30th.

Ok.  That is going to suck for sure for White River.  Sorry to also hear about the muzzle loader.  I figured the WR tag would correspond to the general season.  I talked with some people in the know this morning and they said that if the weather looks like it does they might possibly be opening things up by the end of October on the MBS side. Not known about the OKA WIN side.  No good for those tag.

The copies of emails I saw stated that refund was only available up until the day the hunt started.  Must be postmarked before that date to get points refunded and it is not automatically refunded you have to send in and request it.

I cannot speak specifically to WR tags, you should have gotten an email if your tag qualifies for point refund.  Worst case call WDFW asap and find out directly.

How did you go over a closed pass?
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
