Because I think that Zones D11 and D14 were closed that year due to ??????????????? High fire danger. As a hunter I can only say that there are many idiots like this every year on the opener. The hunter safety class is a one day event of about 10 hours and it is a joke. Most of the guys out there on opening day have no business. I'm sure he and his other hunting party will be sued for negligence. Either way..........he'll live a miserable existance for the rest of his life.
