Apart from what is happening in Alaska for spring bear and the Washington state bear closure, Nebraska closure for Turkey, Oregon effectively shut down all national forests. I just found out about this now. It's being reported on other social media platforms that people are hearing rumors that Colorado may cancel all OTC hunts and likely national forests next but no confirmation- and I've been on hold today with Colorado for over 45 min with 18 people on the line ahead of me and finally just got disconnected. https://www.oregonlive.com/travel/2...d-heres-how-the-decisions-were-made.htmlBy Friday, March 27, all 11 national forests in Oregon, as well as the five in Washington, had effectively closed to the public. Anyone here have a lead on specific states that might be shutting down their seasons? I know Huntinfool had shared some preliminary info, but looks like States are not sharing a lot of detail at this point.

This fall will be my last chance to big game hunt...if I were to draw a tag, and I have an antelope point and one for the deer draw. I have 16 desert bighorn points.and 15 for California Bighorn. LOL...this would be the year I finally draw the tag, and watch, they'll close it all down.

We can still hunt if our survival depends on it. It does.

Nebraska turkey is still open for residents but the sale of non-resident turkey permits has been suspended. https://www.nptelegraph.com/news/st...d285ea8-7372-11ea-97d1-cbf822a50c73.htmlLINCOLN – The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is suspending the sale of nonresident spring turkey hunting permits in a proactive effort to prevent the potential for the spread of the coronavirus disease, according to a press release. This is being done by the Commission in coordination with Gov. Pete Ricketts Executive Order No. 20-11 to help protect the health of Nebraskans by discouraging unnecessary travel. The agency in late March closed all parks offices and commission offices; service and education centers; and other facilities temporarily. Also closed in April, with a possible extension period, are state park and recreation area lodges, cabins and public shower buildings.
State parks, recreation areas and campgrounds remain open at this time, as are a limited number of public restrooms, which are sanitized regularly per Centers for Disease Control and Protection recommendations.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

My county just shut down the boat ramps. Stripers are running. I'm pissed and want a refund on my fishing license and boat registration and boat ramp pass. This is bs.

How could closing hunting help against corona 19 ? The company line is; they don't want you to travel to/through small communities which have limited medical resources. Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player.

CO game and fish sent out press release yesterday that rumors of hunting season closing were false and may have been started on social media platforms as an April Fools prank.

NY state Turkey season starts May 1st and I haven't seen any changes to it as of today. For me it's a great way to social distance myself out in the woods with nobody else around to spook them. Just got my first trail cam picture of a turkey in a long time out back about 9:30 this morning.

I know Huntinfool had shared some preliminary info, but looks like States are not sharing a lot of detail at this point. Nebraska spring turkey has been shut down for non residents only. Those in the state are being asked to self quarantine. Of course this is archery only as the shotgun season hasn’t started for which all non resident permits have been cancelled. They are probably going to shut down LAKE MCCONAUGHY and no non resident fishing licenses will be sold or revoked. Smart move imho.

In SC, we dont GAF.
We will be hunting and it'll suck to be a DNR agent if they cancel a season.
SCDNR best stock up on truck tires.

Just got my first trail cam picture of a turkey in a long time out back about 9:30 this morning. Youth weekend is April 25'th & 26'th. My daughter is looking forward to it, we have a "backyard" over 100 acres. Will be checking cameras and setting a popup blind this werkend.
