(FORT CARSON, Colo.) — All hunting on Fort Carson and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site is suspended due to the federal government shutdown.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said it will be offering a full refund and a preference point restoration to affected license holders for the upcoming pronghorn season beginning Oct 4. Hunting licenses must be returned to a CPW office in person, or an Application for License Refund must be completed and mailed with the license before the season starts, postmarked on or before Oct 4.  

Included Hunt Codes, listed on the hunting license are: AM059O1R, AF059O1R, AM142O1R, and AF142O1R. For more information call the CPW offices in Colorado Springs (719) 227-5200, or in Pueblo at (719) 561-5300. 

CPW said other big game hunting seasons may be considered depending on the length of the shutdown.
