can you still hunt there?
The Hoosier National Forest will have to furlough most of its staff, said spokeswoman Judi Perez. Still, visitors will have access to most of the forest’s 200,000 acres.
“Because we’re a national forest, we work differently from national parks,” she said. The forest “ will still be there and still be available for public use. We don’t have a way to cut off access. But people will not see our presence here. We’ll just have a few emergency personnel there.”
However, campgrounds with gates will be shuttered, she said.
So is it a lawless land now?
Regarding the shut down, the news said gun permits would be affected. I am guessing they meant FFL and Class III types because doesn't the state police handle the state level permits?
Yes. Per the NFS website "Hoosier National Forest" has been officially named "Sherwood Forest."
