dougusafsp:
Wandering if anyone has been shooting at Hamburg Bend WMA neer Nebraska City? I was wandering exactly where the place is. What road/s do I take to get to it? What road is it on? Looked all over on google maps and can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Doug

First off welcome to the site. Its not too hard to find but cant tell you all the road names.
 Take hwy 75 south out of Nebraska City about a mile and turn left at the big power plant sign.Follow that road till you come to a split. If you go straight it will take you right into the plant.Turn right there and follow till you come to another right turn. At this point you are on the south side of the plant. If you go straight it (looks like a low maint road) it will take you to the north side of Hamberg Bend. At the gate there is parking and you will find a place to shoot about 50ft east of the gate. If you turn right and stay on the road you will go about another mile to a "t" turn left here(it is a low maint road so dont want to go here if it is sloppy or you have 4x4) this will take you east to the south entrance.Again there is a gate and a nice place to shoot.
 Have fun be safe and please clean up after you are done.

Hey Mike thanks for the welcome and thanks for directions. Done lots of shooting in the past but haven't been in years. Recently purchased a Sig Pro 2022 .40 and a Springfield XD9 9mm and can't wait to get out and shoot.

I've been wondering about the WMA's around Lincoln.  I've seen the comments on these forums about G&P closing the Branched Oak WMA to shooting some time back. Does anyone know if Game and Parks allows shooting at any of the other WMA's near Lincoln?   ???  Thanks.

Talk to the folks at the park offices or ask a G&P officer. There are still some areas open for hunting, in which a little target shooting can be done. They may not be structured ranges, but we have a spot by Branched Oak we go to dust off the guns once in a while.  8)
If you talk to the folks, they can usually point you to a good spot. Be courteous , pick up what you pack in and it will go a long way to getting some places opened back up.  The gals we talked to at Branched Oak shared our disappointment in the closing of many area as they have less places to shoot. They told us most have been closed because folks just have to have that lake side property, so they buy land near WMAs and then piss and moan when gunshots are fired new their homes  ::)
