    I and my friends all hunt a certain state park some of us for almost 30yrs. As of late, a new park ranger has taken over. Since then, he has closed the interior of this park saying that the road system is to fucked up for people to be in the interior. This is not the case. I used these roads in the past with my front wheel drive vehicle.
    Also, there is a state memorial in this park that is cut off to people wishing to visit. What can I do to get back into our hunting spots and can we use the state memorial as a crutch to get back in?

    Speak with him. Honesty is the best policy

    Sad situation but not all will use FWD. Probably this declaration is to keep from pulling out cars that get stuck.

    First ask what the plan and time line to fix and reopen. Depending on the answer, everyone has a boss go over his head to find out who actually knows what.
    Is the interior completely closed or closed to vehicals only?
    If you do not like the answers, well, start a scorched earth approach and tell them that's what will need to be done, ie...contacting all media you can with the best narrative you can muster, to put public opinion at their door step.

    Ask if they have volunteer positions available.
