Hunting Operations Continue Amid Federal FurloughsDuring the partial government shutdown in October 2025, which led to the furlough of thousands of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) employees, the Trump administration confirmed that hunting activities would continue in roughly 600 National Wildlife Refuges nationwide. Internal guidance indicated that all scheduled hunts should proceed, while other refuge services, including visitor centers and educational programs, were temporarily suspended. The decision has drawn criticism from conservation organizations and some lawmakers, who question the prioritization of recreational hunting over other federal responsibilities.

Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a stylish electric Volvo SUV, admits the Leaf doesn’t excite him. “I like cars with energy and character – this one’s a bit flat,” he says. Still, he’s satisfied. “It has performed exactly as I expected,” he adds.…
