RobertH:
im not sure where to post this, but the NE Game and Park announced they have closed the Teal WMA in Lancaster county to all target shooting effective immediately.

Saw this on their facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/notes/nebraska-game-and-parks-commission/teal-wma-closed-to-target-shooting/10150806650512298

For those that can't/won't go to Facebook:


--- Quote ---LINCOLN, Neb. – Teal Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Lancaster County is closed to target shooting, effective immediately, because of safety concerns, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.


“With the area being relatively small and the proximity of neighboring buildings, the area really has no safe place to shoot,” said Pat Molini, Game and Parks’ southeast district wildlife manager.


Consult the current Nebraska Hunting Guide for a list of WMAs closed to target shooting. “Target shooters on WMAs should choose safe areas to shoot, with adequate backstops,” Molini said. “Be aware of your target and what’s beyond it, and please leave nothing but your tracks.”

NE Bull:
Once I get a little nap in me, I'll send the boys an email. See where we are at with the sight in ranges.  I will report back.

Slowly they are shutting WMA's down for target shooting. Free shooting is becoming scarce.

NE Bull:
Doug, we are currently working with the G&P on getting actual Site-In ranges includes berms, benches, etc installed on applicable WMAs. (along with other styles of ranges) but like any other project of a government agency, it will take time to develop and execute.
