I've heard that F&G has offered X5B rifle deer tag holders the option to turn their tags back in for full points. They said that 30% of the zone burned in the Rush fire. For those with a tag like me,let me tell you that alot more than 30% burned of the huntable country. Let's put it into perspective. Mountains from the south to the north: Skeddadle Mts.-burned. Five springs Mts.-burned. Rush Creek Mts.-burned. Cherry Mt.-burned. Blacks Mt.-burned. Shinn Mt.-burned. Spanish Peak Mt.-burned. Observation Peak.-burned. Cottonwoods.-Not burned. McDonalds Peak.-Not burned. That's 80% of the mountains are all but gone.There is some country within the fire that did not burn and some around the edges,but I have been up there and most of that is just grass and rocks. Very little brush did not burn. There is a thin pocket of brush here and there that did not burn but it's slim. I am going to get out and scout as much as I can before I make my decision. But if I don't see more than my son or I have on a couple of trips so far I'm sending mine back.
Edit. I should have said that F&G has offered that option.
