How do I determine if the Selaway Bitterroot National Forest in Idaho is shut down for elk hunting? There are no answers at the offices. Campsites are closed, but that does not necessarily mean hunting is closed.
Try a CB radio. If your not to far from the park someone
might know. The NRA might help you and if all else fails
do a Startpage search.

Due to the lapse in agency funding, the sale of all types of permits (i.e., recreation, firewood, forest products, mineral materials for example) are suspended, recreation.gov reservations are suspended, and all federally owned recreation sites are closed. All offices are closed. These services will be available once funding is restored.
Law enforcement, fire suppression, and other essential services will continue without interruption.
“And don’t expect to get rescued right away if something goes wrong.”
No. They are still on the job. It’s closed to the public
only. You know the ones that pay the bills.
“Never mind the elk, start hunting the feral government employees and employ the 3S (shoot, shovel, shut-up).”
What a nasty idea!
Have you ever considered what it would be like cleaning and dressing one of those things?
Don’t forget the inflated price of arm length rubber gloves, either.
;-(
One assumes that he already has the license. At least in my neighborhood, the elk licenses are not something you just pick up on the way to the hunt, and most people get them months before season. That posted quote says the SALE of permits has been suspended.
I'd just go.
Long past time for some good ol' Civil Disobedience, anyway.
Cleaning and dressing a feral government employee? It’s probably as much trouble as a large deer. We could give the meat to homeless shelters. At least they’d get some use from a feral government employee. [snicker]
If you dry them properly you can use them to heat your home. Can’t afford gas? Wood stoves are now illegal. Burn a bureaucrat instead.
I spent last 2 days fishing Dworshak Reservoir. Had to camp in the state park since the federal stuff is all locked up. The whole damn lake is federal - Army Corps of Engineers runs it. But they only controlled places they could install locks.
I would say go to it. Those elk don’t care if the feds are working or not.
Call Bud&Shirley’s or maybe a gun shop up in Missoula.
I’m in Oregon, but folks are still hunting the national forests here.
it’s ours, I say you can hunt, so can I if I want
Just throw on a Robin Hood outfit and you are good to go. Anytime you want.
Take your gun and go huntin’, young man.
If accosted, use gun. Simple.
Are you Hispanic? If not, it’s closed.
