public trails should never be closed for the benefit of one specific group! We all know state game agencies depend on tag sales for their salaries... Hunters seem to think that what they call "game" are theirs alone (to kill). The reality is wildlife belongs to all of us and those of us who choose to look for and watch *living* wildlife should have just as much access to these areas (and living, thriving wildlife) as do so-called 'hunters'...
