The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, announced a second notice about closing the Beattie Gulch Trailhead and McConnell Fishing Access areas in Montana to the discharge of firearms. This notice corrects the mailing address for comments sent by mail and extends the public comment period by another 60 days. The closure aims to protect public health and safety due to the risk posed by firearms near developed facilities and private property. Bow hunting will still be allowed in these areas.
Simple Explanation
The forest people said that you can't shoot guns in some special outdoor places near a town in Montana because it could be dangerous. You can still use bows for hunting there, though.
