The proposed ban could pose a threat to firearm hunting on portions of federal lands across the nation. The Forest Service is accepting public comment on alternatives until Feb. 11. Background: In September, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Forest Service’s regulations required that it consider banning hunting with firearms on lands designated as “semi-primitive” within the Huron-Manistee National Forest. The court felt the noise associated with firearm hunting could harm the quality of the recreational experience of hikers, backpackers, and cross country skiers. The court ruled that the Forest Service had to consider closing these areas to hunting with firearms if other public hunting land was available nearby. The U.S. Forest Service is therefore required to do a formal review to determine if it should move forward with a ban on firearms hunting ban on these areas. Please submit comments to the Forest Service urging it to adopt the “No-Action” position, which would allow hunting with firearms in areas designated as semi-primitive to continue. Sportsmen can fax comments to Lee Evison at 231-775-5551 or e-mail comments to [email]comments-eastern-huron-manistee@fs.fed.us[/email]. Please include your name and address with your comments.
