Yes. It's always open. May be a little muddy.
Thanks for the info
I saw a guy pull in yesterday in a sedan. Please leave stupid at home. If your vehicle is not 4 wheel drive and you don't have recovery gear WALK!
Yes, I am going without my wife.Quote:

One way to pollute an area is to "mud-bog" your way to the shooting area when it's muddy. It's not a big deal in some areas but many boarder plowed or otherwise maintained fields and rutting them is just like leaving a shot up television behind. Maybe even worse. That's not to say that you should only go when the surface is dry but just because you have a vehicle that can make it, doesn't mean you should. Just depends on the specific area.

i agree about waiting till it dries. I just reminding that conditions are poor up here for off reading I live about 5 miles from south site
I've never been there. It may be perfectly usable when wet and accessible without adversely affecting the area either by foot or vehicle. Just a reminder that it's not always the case.Quote:

Amen. Another hazard of popular open shooting areas. Often zero range discipline. And making sure you aren't the idiot or that you don't bring an idiot only solves half the problem. Often the idiot is already there sweeping everyone and trying to replicate some shootout he saw in a movie. Probably 1 out of 3 trips to an open range leads to me de-assing the area before I ever fire a shot.Quote:

where is south site?? lat/lon plz
It was fun and mostly dry/clear of snow. We picked up 2 extra trash bag of stuff left behind as usual, and the other shooters that were there did the same thing before they left before us (even hauling 2 large wood target stand). Now: we all left because the guy with the tannerite showed up...
I love tannerite but this was NOT me! HAHAHA.Quote:

Make sure they see you. When you get ask "What are you doing" you say "Just need photos to inform the forest service"Quote:
