Wow, why did they bother updating 2 hours ago just to do it again now?

not really, youth turkey hunter yes,  bear hunters have close to a 0.0% chance of harvesting a bear up north right now.  Still About a month out for them

The bear hunting really doesnt get good until may.  Could open back up by then.  Bummer for locals who drew, but anybody coming from the west side is better off not wasting their time until may anyway.

Yep, youth turkey screwed much more so as many of them will not be eligible next year whereas all bear hunters can apply again next year if season stays closed throughout.

I think the only way we have a spring turkey season this year is if they let us hunt the last 2 weeks of May. That's best case scenario IMO. I really don't think it will be open before then.

So you can still buy coffee at a bikini barista stand, go buy weed and booze, home depot and lowes are setting record sales days but you cant go chase birds or bears isolated in the woods.

I know, I get that the shutdown with prevent transmission to rural communities and thats a good thing.

But why the hell is all this other "stuff" still rolling along, thats what frustrates me beyond belief.

Not to play devils advocate but I literally woke up to water dripping into my kitchen from a skylight. That's probably why Home Depot and Lowes are still open. Of course most people going there right now are doing so for non-emergency repairs and upgrades, but a few people definitely will have emergency home repairs needed.

Because of exactly what you just said. You don't drive across the state to go to Lowe's.

Yes, I'm aware. My point is if we get a season it will likely only be the final 2 weeks of it.

This was my argument to a friend last week when he was complaining about his wife still having to work at ACE.

I also find it very frustrating. I get it, but it's still frustrating.

What little I've been out, I've seen all kinds of people making quick stops at the convenience store, running in the grocery store for 1 item, lined up at the coffee stand, etc. But that's all ok. Almost like it would somehow matter what you were doing if the virus is transmitted.
