Many state parks were closed four days ago, but the DLNR Division of State Parks announced this afternoon that it is shuttering all parks, statewide.

Is parks considered hunting forest reserve? I want to make sure the hunting areas such as Manana is open.

I was thinking of going hunting too but I was watching the news and they were showing people hiking and said the hikers were violating the lockdown because hiking trails were closed

Since hiking trails cross some of the hunting areas I’m kind of thinking the hunting areas are closed.  I rather be safe than sorry, I can’t afford a $5000 citation

Even if technically the hunting area is open, I don’t want to possibly deal with a dlnr officer that has a differing understanding

Maybe I would chance em if I was good at hunting but I’m not.  My wife just laughs and tells the kids I’m going wandering around in the bushes as I leave the house.

I was talking to a co-worker and he said that only the popular trails are closed.  So I think the hunting areas should be ok....as long they are not crossed by the closed trails.

Just an opinion.
