National Forests closed

[Eli346]

 Looks like the National Forests are shut down until this spat between the powers that be is over. What a crock! It better be cleared up before Nov 1 or I'll be trespassing.

You can put the ptichforks and torches down, the National Forests are still open except for campgrounds.

The Pend Oreille Refuge is closed per Federal enforcement as if today.

[DBHAWTHORNE]

Yep.. The Colville is closed until after the season.. Don't waste your time going there.

If they are shutdown and there is no one employed to enforce the closure who is going to stop you from using the land?

[BOWHUNTER45]

Lmao ... everyone just please stay home and obey their commands ...I am sure I will

   my son drew a turnbull refuge cow tag.  will he lose his tag and points if they stay shut down?   mike w

[bobcat]

Well, no. He will still have his elk tag, but yes, he already did lose his points, when he drew the permit. If there is no access to the refuge, there is a chance the WDFW could reinstate his points. Or, they may give him a different time period to hunt, if the refuge opens back up. Or they may do nothing and he's just out those points. It's hard to say.

How are they closed? It's public land owned by the public. Yeah maybe the facilities are locked but the land isn't.
