Public shooting range on WMA and State Rec Areas

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bigtony:
We did try to keep our area clean, some days was quite a chore but I don't think it would be to hard to keep up as much as we went out there.  The kids would always help pick up what trash we could and I always picked up shell casings to either reload for myself or trade for what I needed.  I would be up for it if we could get it back,  alot of people from Lincoln area used it.

A-FIXER:
I would be in favor of this with and during open season that it would be shut down.... but otherwise open to public.

KGillen:
I'd be more than willing to volunteer some (quite a bit of) time for maintaining these areas. I am not insensitive to the concerns of hunters out there, and would be understanding of any time/seasonal compromises that would need to be worked out. I really feel this is something important we can do. Hypothetically what would be the next step?

I'm pleased with the all the positive feedback thus far and would love some more members of the board to weigh in.

Bigtony:
If hamburg bend, triple creek (my neck of the woods) and the one south of branched oak all have posted "no target shooting" signs, do all of them that were not posted before have them now.  I don't know how many there were but all that are within 30 miles of me ( that i know of) have them.  What's going on with this?

RipTombstone:
I would love to see more shooting ranges.

 Here in central Nebraska, we have Pressey State Park, which has a nice rifle range with some permanent benches. Nothing fancy, and its usually in pretty good shape as far as trash is concerned. Unless you live in Oconto, its a long drive to get there though.
The one at Dogwood WMA along I-80 also allows target shooting, but it is simply dangerous. They have a berm built, with parking and the gate next to the berm. The shooters basically shoot towards the vehicles and the gate when they are shooting. I would like to see the G&P revamp this one, and make it a safer/better built range.
