Game wardens are LEOs and are deemed essential. They will be working

Different administration than last time. I suspect that rather than telling these services to stay home, you will see them continue to work without pay with assurances they will get the back pay shortly, rather than trying to use the lack of services as a political club.

Just a hunch, could be totally wrong.

Law enforcement and other personnel are deemed Essential and continue working like nothing is different.

That was the same in the previous administration as well.

Didn't Obama's group shut down national parks and forest ? I thought I heard something about no fishing in federal water last time too .

Wasn’t sure where the Game Wardens fell in the realm of essential/non-essential.

Thanks for the info.

I happened to be in Gulf Shores for the last shut down. They put barricades at the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge Public Beach parking lot and beach entrance. Everybody said frick it and went around the barricades and got their beach on

No, "WLMAs" (guessing you meant WMAs) are ran by state. Only federal properties would be affected IF they are affected

You may need to work on your reading comprehension. Feds only control nwr, national parks and national forests .....




Preserves and reserves might be up your alley
