What channel do you run in case they cross the road?
Good luck. I wonder if National Forests will close due to government shutdown? I assume you guys mean Cherokee.Ive seen on the news that National Parks will close and you wont even be allowed in.

There aren't any gates into the national forest so I doubt they will shut it down. Maybe those pesky, cooler snooping park rangers won't be there LOL J/K

The hunt is still on in Tellico. I just spoke to the TWRA officer in charge. He said a few campgrounds would be closed, but that is about all that is going to affect the hunt.

One of my students asked why the hunts were still happening but the national park was closed? I told them bird watchers and hikers aren't nearly as well armed as hunters are!

The Hunt is still going to happen. Some of the camp grounds will be closed but that's it.

This is correct. I have verified with two different TWRA personnel in the last two days, one on the forest and one at the regional office. The National forest website says the forest is closed. However, this hunt has nothing to do with operations on the forest. It is conducted by our state agency.
I will be staying at the cabins this weekend. Looks like Saturday is going to be warm and Sunday might be wet. Good luck guys!
wish I was.
