Talked to Paul Wik just a few minutes ago. WDFW made the decision official, turn in permit by Friday if you want your points back. It rained about 1/4 in.

Dayton tag holders at this moment have no option of having points restored. I was told to make due, despite WDFW rep. stating that 40 percent of the unit is public property and 90 percent of that public property is currently closed or the access into it (FS roads are closed). Should be a real quality hunting opportunity for 7 bull tag holders, general archery deer hunters, grouse hunters, bear hunters etc..that will compete for the 5-10 percent of open or reachable public property. I wish they would reconsider and give us the option of taking a chance on limited public property or mailing in our permit and letting us take our chances in the next lottery. I would rather keep my points and try again next year and the year after and after.......instead of having to settle with in my opinion a very diminished opportunity. Just my personal thoughts and opinions on the matter. In any case I feel like I might puke over the whole thing. In the big picture not getting to utilize the tag to it's potential is small potatoes compared to people who have lost their homes, structures, etc.. Those folks have real problems and concerns and I hope things work out for them and no other damage to personal property or threat to personal safety occurs.

It's also, arguably the best at times. shoot me a pm if you get in a bind and need somewhere to look. I'm guessing that access will improve during season as well. Imagine if you got to hunt a bunch of bulls that haven't been called at and pressured. Hopefully it turns out good for the Dayton tag holders.
