Well, people USED TO work during the week.    But judging by the amount of traffic on the roads, and the crowds in all the stores and malls at any given time nowadays........ Apparently the whole "working" lifestyle is a thing of the past.  

I wish we could have gotten rid of that concept back in the late 70's - early '80's when all I wanted to do was ride dirt bikes, hunt/fish, and smoke dope.  

My office just let 6 more guys work “remote”.  Two have places at LOZ.  One in gravois.

Was there ever a reason given?

How could there be? It defies logic.  If they are trying to limit the fish kill, they ought to only be open on week days, so fewer anglers, but if that's even a concern they should just cancel C&R. It has nothing to do with Parks or MDC employees working because they'd be on the job through the week anyhow. The Park itself is open 7 days. Just a bureaucratic Stupidity.

I thought that "closed seasons" on game animals was to protect the species during it's most vulnerable times.   

Having a closed season on hatchery raised and stocked trout does seem a bit odd.

Except road goats.   Season aligns with the rut.   Not that I’m against it.

We can't hunt on most Sundays. I've been told that the animals need some down time and not be pressured everyday. Not sure what those animals are doing with the other 8 months when they aren't being hunted 🤔. Really think that the law was put in place to get dad to go to church with the family.

That’s crazy!    Wouldn’t Monday be better?   You gotta get outta there.

@Nick Adams I've skimmed through the comments looking for the punch line...

No punch line. Just wondered if I'd end up with jail time. I didn't risk it. We'll go this weekend instead.
