Maybe they'll give you guys a later season. They did that with an elk permit I drew back in 2012.

Crap!!
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

It would be really cool if they would just give us the tag for next year but I really doubt that will happen. But I think that what they should do is wait until the hunt starts and see if and when they open the area and just move our hunt dates back a week if needed and if it opens in the middle of the season then give us the option to either hunt or take our points back depending on how much time we have to hunt. I knoe if I had a guaranteed 5 days in my unit during the rut I would probably keep my tag. So basically if the 5th rolls around and it is still closed just wait and if they opened it on the 18th push our hunt end date to the 30th and give us the choice of turning in our permit for point reimbursement or keep it and hunt. If they don't open it by the 30th just give our points back.

40 years of no grazing, no responsible logging and no woodcutting.  So much for the scenery now. 

This fire has some staying power and doesn't appear to be done yet for the next few days.

Yep.  A tree in the previously burned area above my neighbors house started up...they have been finding a few hotspots, this one flared a bit with the winds but they had it out in short order.
