Wondered if anyone else has heard the rumor that some of the higher ups in our state government may be pushing for no hunting in the Mt St Helens Monument area? I saw a flier posted at our local parts store that stated this info that government is trying to turn the monument area which can mostly all be hunted at this time, into Nat'l Park which would then be no hunting of course. It would include the margaret, toutle, and I think two other units. That is all we need is more Nat'l Park!! The flier asked for people to contact our state reps about this matter. Has anyone else seen this or heard of it? Scott |

Yes, I have heard this. I read it in the Olympian awhile back. |

They want to make it a National Park. They say they are not getting enough money to mantain the roads, outhouses, etc. It would ruin some good hunting. |

I think that the areas that they would like to add to the "monument" are the Toutle, Margaret and parts of the Lewis River and Packwood. Yep, that would suck big time! >:( |

Why not turn it into a federal wildlife refuge where hunting is allowed and encouraged with the benefit of viewing the mess that St. Helens created when it blew its top back in 1980. With the distinction of a Federal National Wildlife Refuge it would receive money from hunting related taxes etc. |
