So, I just got off the phone with the forest service. I asked if they were going to have the Lincoln national forest open by the time Sep 1st (archery elk and deer/bear) rolled around. The response I recieved was that "unless we get a whole bunch of rain, no." Well I understand that they can't make it rain so that leads to some questions. I broke out my map and it looks like unit 34 is all either state owned, private, or national forest. Well I can't hunt private and there isn't that much state owned land, so what will happen? If this has happened before and anyone knows what's going on then please let me know. I know 2 years ago they closed the forest at the end of turkey season and sometime before Sep 1st it was open again, and I don't remember that much rain.
