Mike S Report post Posted October 13, 2013 Are the roads within the refuge open? The website says the refuge is closed due to the shutdown, but not sure if that means the gates are closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted October 13, 2013 It should be closed to refugees always. But, Obama wants to close out citizens not refugees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmire Report post Posted October 14, 2013 I was out there yesterday scouting and the gates were closed but I went in anyway. When I was leaving, I read a letter that was taped to the gate. I didn't realize it was closed because of the shutdown. Hope things get fixed quick because I have the first hunt and will need to figure out a different game plan.

AZLance Report post Posted October 14, 2013 jan brewer decided that thestate would reopen and fund all national parks and refuges starting friday night october 11th up until next weekl ending saturday at midnight,and then who knows after that.I believe it was just the Grand Canyon National Park, other national parks in AZ are still closed and refuges are still closed... And the agreement between the state and NPS is only until October 18th... Then it will be closed again if the shutdown is not resolved. http://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/national-park-service-enters-agreement-with-state-of-arizona-to-re-open-grand-canyon.cfm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
