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.

Most certainly everyone should cut back on their hunting this year, especially out of state.... Especially Colorado 3rd season!!

And yet PA's Trout season is still set to open in 2 weeks. A season known for Anglers being almost shoulder to shoulder. Go figure.

I received an Email from Colo parks and wildlife saying that it is a rumor that is being spread around on social media that Colo. may close down big game seasons and/or national forest.
That's the news for now. In other words, Colo. parks and wildlife wants your money, ALL OF IT!!!
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Put in our apps for Colorado a couple days ago. Preference Points for antelope, deer, elk and bear, same for everyone else except for the bear. Second choice was for a Ranching For Wildlife ranch during a late season, which we think we will get based on draw results for previous years.
I'm retiring this summer and plan to hunt two Colorado elk seasons as well as Wyoming antelope. Will apply for a 4th Rifle cow tag in the second draw. If we don't get the RFW late season tag, I'll pick up a leftover cow tag as well, for a season yet to be determined.

It's more a risk assessment: if you are over 50 yrs old, especially over 60 yrs old, you are at significantly higher risk of severe complications or death. Significantly higher risk vs influenza according to both the CDC and WHO. Exposure while in transit then maybe getting sick while out of state is also a factor for some.
Also, not everyone has great health insurance nor are hospitals equipped to handle this crisis.
Plus, for those of us that need to fly, there are already travel restrictions in effect, potential quarantines like those in New York and reduced flights.
The U.S. economy and oil prices are tanking. There will be major layoffs and JOB CUTS have already started in the travel and oil business. Some people work for a living and can't afford this risk nor uncertainty. I don’t know where you came from, but I’m hoping your time here will be brief.

Except for a Texas hunt to murder piggies I have never hunted out of the state of Misery. It won't have anything to do with the C-19 virus! I am looking at turkey season soon in Misery. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
