    Yeah, I figured something was up. I had a visit from the Forest Service officers last week while shooting up off My Herman rd. Looks like they are cracking down on folks

    Funny you should mention that. They stopped by last time I was up at 315 and chatted about making sure we were using a safe backdrop, proper targets, not across bodies of water, etc. Didn't seem like a shakedown, but nonetheless.

    Yeah, they actually gave me a written warning about not having a proper backstop. I was shooting steel and targets on my stand and not trees or junk but they felt there was not a sufficient backstop. There was not a immediate backstop but the direction of fire was across to a adjacent hill with no trails, roads, etc in that direction.

    Was thinking of heading up there tomorrow early AM, would be my first time shooting up there. I drove up the road and found three areas that were obviously used for shooting. I'd think sticking to one of these areas would be the best bet. Any other recommendations?
