GOLETA, CA….Los Padres National Forest officials announced that a hunting ban within the Lower Santa Ynez Recreation Area of the Santa Barbara Ranger District remains in effect. The Forest Order issued last summer to provide for public safety is being extended through February 28, 2013.

Law enforcement personnel are strictly enforcing the prohibition, and the public is strongly encouraged to report any violations to the Los Prietos Ranger Station on Paradise Road.

An adventure pass? Guess they are too important to understand that a federal judge trumps their authority. They will after they get to pay the attorney's bill.

This is their was of choking public land off....pretty soon you will see this tactic used on alot of other public lands....just another way to block hunting
