I returned my Toutle Quality bull tag last year more than 2 weeks before the start of the hunt in accordance with the new return rule. I got an email stating that the office was busy, but so long as I got the tag mailed in, my points would be restored. That hasn't happened. I'm still showing zero points for this year. I kinda figured that's what would be the case.id call them

agree with bugs and bones. Get on a phone call with them and raise holy hell, do it with professionalism, of course; however, demand your points back. Do NOT take no for an answer. This is your investment you are protecting, you have every right to be discouraged.I returned my Toutle Quality bull tag last year more than 2 weeks before the start of the hunt in accordance with the new return rule.

Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! That is all I can say and imagine!!!! WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! I will bet my left (you know what) that you will never see that tag again in your lifetime! WOW!!! again. If you could, (and you cant) you could sell that tag for over $50,000. I hope you are kidding. Please tell me you are!!! I guess there must be some reason or scenario but I just cant think of what that could possibly be. Good luck and I hope you get a second chance!

Pretty good fire season last year in that area. Probably a good guess as to why that tag was returned.We drew 4 big bull permits in the Dayton unit in 2006. Worst fire that year in decades. We worried about the fire damage. We had the hunt of a lifetime. Shot a 398 inch non-typical 7x8 and a 360 inch typical 6x6 in land that was so burned it looked like the face of the moon. Dayton and Tucannon bull tags are something 99.9% of hunters will never draw no matter how many points you have or no matter how long you live. The worst year in the world isn’t worth giving up that tag. You will never see it again.

Gambling a lifetime of points isn’t worth it. At least to me.

I'm guessing his was an archery tag and that yours was a rifle tag. Big difference. Holding on to your archery tag and then having much/all/lots of the unit physically closed is a way higher risk of not even getting to hunt AND losing your points. Oct/Nov rifle tag...fires are probably only a big help and zero risk of being shut out of the hunt. Still a tough choice to make given how hard the tags are to draw.Pretty good fire season last year in that area.

The entire Tucannon was closed for fires so I didn't have a choice. I was extremely disappointed but it's the second time I've drawn the tag so I'll live.
The last time I drew was in 2015 when my brother and I drew as a group. Only four out of the seven tag holders kept their tags that year due to fires. I believe we were the only two who filled our archery tags. We killed really nice bulls on day 19 and day 21 of the hunt. It was an awesome hunt.
