Kevin Kneeshaw 6/4/14 4:34 PM This area should be allowed to discharge firearms for hunting purposes. I am well aware of the area and the restriction needs to be removed. Thank You
Geoffrey Boone 6/4/14 4:42 PM Please remove this no shoot zone as it does not only effect one persons farm, but instead effects countless years of memories and family gathering, through passions that all of us have shared throughout the many years that we have lived in the area. No harm and no complaints were ever sought after or filed in the previous years of us hunting in the area. It saddens me that some of the most memorable times that I have made in my life could possibly be threatened if this ban is upheld. Thank you for your time and consideration.
