FORT CARSON, Colo. (KOAA) — The federal government shutdown is forcing hunters to put down their weapons in southern Colorado. All hunting on Fort Carson and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site remains suspended until the shutdown ends.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is offering full refunds and preference point restoration for affected hunters.

The mule deer muzzle-loader season was set to start Saturday and run through October 19. Hunters must return their licenses by October 11 to get a refund.

If the shutdown continues, other big game seasons could also be affected.
