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.
I would say “just do it!’ u heard it here first
I second the motion.
They're all home, enjoying a beer waiting for the vacay check.
Enjoy.

Obama - "SPITEFUL" is thy name.
I was on the forests in central ID all week. Never noticed any campgrounds shut and I stopped by a few outhouses and found them in working order (thanks to gravity).
Maybe call the sheriff in the county you are going to.
Ask permission only of your master.
Corollary: be your own master. Free men don’t ask permission.

"The forest is closed. Go bowling, instead."
Call the state wildlife agency that issued your hunting license.

Funding Lapse
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.
This web site will remain available for public safety announcements and updates such as for wildfire, floods, and so forth. We will attempt to make timely updates about public health and safety on these web pages as appropriate. We sincerely regret this inconvenience.
For general information on Forest Service shutdown procedures, please visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/contingency-plans/.
I would say you should still be able to hunt there as long as you can find a way to get to the place where you want to hunt without using the park roads and are otherwise self-sufficient. And don’t expect to get rescued right away if something goes wrong.
Stay safe.
The Asshat is trying to close the ocean, so anything is possible.
I’m part owner. You have my permission.
The elk or mr. ranger?
The elk were also placed on furlough so they are not legal game during the fedgov shutdown.
