Not really closing public lands. Don't misinterpret the article or the intent of the stay at home order.

Yea, I saw that. The article did say they are discouraging hunting and fishing. Somehow going turkey hunting by myself in the hills within a few miles of my house hardly seems like a problem. I can see not traveling around the state but I'll still be out there locally. Where I live any hunter coming out of the woods is given a very wide berth by most folks without the COVID lockdown

It definitely will be interesting to see what the crowds will be like. I will be taking advantage of my extra free time to hunt.

You and everyone in the state. My thought is that it's going to be a total cluster.

I have been joking with my dad that he should cough when we arrive at fishing spots to help keep people away.

I did this last weekend after getting crowded at the Platte. All by myself, river empty, some jackwagon has to set up 20 feet away.

Been hitting deckers the last two days and it has definitely been a little crowded. That being said I still landed around 10 pretty nice fish

Odd that they're discouraging hunting and fishing. They're encouraging it here. In a sense... They say getting outside is essential and you can hunt and fish. But then they shutdown the biggest deal of the spring for us anglers searching for a place to put the boat in. Poor rainy river won't get any attention from fishermen this springYea, I saw that.
