Didn't read the whole thread, but in my mind the best way to do this would be to reissue next year plus the regular amount.  Certainly wouldn't hurt to have double the amount for one year.  Same amount overall.  Should be simple really.

It would have an effect. A lot of tagholders concentrate in the same small areas.  I'm really hoping the elk have done well and the habitat comes  back as it should. It would suck to have tag numbers go down in these units for future years.

I agree bluebulls, it sucks to have this happen but doubling the tags next year I don't think overall is a good idea.  I the area that is burning will be nice and green next year, it's crazy how fast things go from black to green after a burn.  I also hope the animals are getting out of harms way, Obviously the residents as well.

Agreed. Just like anywhere else...the elk and the hunters are in the spots they are in for a reason. You have trail access or water or a concentration of elk or whatever....and you end up with multiple hunters in the same general areas. Double the # of hunters and you end up with guys on top of each other. If you think that doesn't happen, ask nwhunter or bluebulls or other folks who hunt and know that country.

My weather ap on my phone has rain and the lows getting like really cold Wednesday and Thursday! It says lows 45 in centralia with rain? That would be snow in the mountains! Couldnt be !?

Not necessarily the Blues, but it looks like they might get some rain. Hopefully it doesn't evaporate before it hits the ground.

I hope the weather man is correct we need rain in the worst way.
