I hit a few national parks late February and early March. Most were unstaffed entrance. I doubt many folks paid on the way through.

My annual pass just stayed in my wallet. Just as well, I hate seeing the ego maniac that has his fugged up face on it.

Same for USFWS unfortunately. Proposing another 25% cut to Habitat and Wildlife Management subactivity under National Wildlife Refuge System, zeroing out all science programs, and another reduction of several hundred positions.

Government is supposed to be ran by the people FOR the People. Last time I checked they want to take away Your hunting and fishing rights. How do outdoorsman support the change in the left ideology. Didn’t used to be that way. How anyway can say government hasn’t be one to big is beyond me.

Your ire is a bit misplaced, the folks trying to take away your ability to hunt and fish are primarily elected officials and unelected, political appointees on boards and commissions. The lifelong federal and state employees of the various wildlife and land agencies are not the villains you are looking for. If anything, those federal and state employees are generally trying to preserve your ability to hunt and fish. They are the folks pushing back against the powerful urban anti-hunting activists and organizations. I try to make a point of thanking them when given the opportunity. At least that has been my experience in Colorado.
