Govt. shut down is shutting down my hunt.

[Jerry Jeffer]

Tried to hunt some federal land today, all the possible parking areas were blocked off. After finding a turn out along the road to park in, a ranger pulled up an asked if all was ok. I explained I was a bit annoyed about the parking shut down, but that I would hunt here. He quickly said, " you are not hunting here either. No one is hunting on this land as long as the Govt. is shut down." Well, I was about to let him have a piece of my mind, but I know it isn't his fault. Still a bit angry, but I have plenty of other land to hunt. Biggest disappointment is I saw a huge buck along this place just a day before. Well, I guess he will make it through another season.    :mad:

And all this time I thought the goverment (politicians) worked for us !!!!! I also had a hunt stopped due to the shut down. This is not the place to get "political", but I only hope that we have learned something by all this junk .

We at least it was just a hunt. My wife and I had our lives stopped for this BS. Try to explain to your children you have no income because of those bums on the hill.

Them clowns couldn't run a yard sale let alone the country!

What exactly is there about a chunk of forest that needs to be run by the government.  On any given day you wood walk in the woods hunt and leave and probably never see a soul. Not sure why they have to stop people from doing things that don't require govt oversight anyway.  
By the way,  what was the Ranger doing at work?
