Does anyone know this means you can shoot in Pike National Forest with Park County. I'm getting the impression we can't.

the NFS never issued a ban on shooting but evidently a county can overide the fed in some cases.

It looks like they are still under Stage 2. When it drops back to Stage 1 it will be okay but is still pretty dry out there. A few heavy storms doesn't overcome a season of drought.

On order 12-09 I did not see any restrictions on firearms other than incendiary or tracer ammunition and exploding targets.
