Recreational shooters start fire on Pawnee National Grassland

http://www.greeleytribune.com/news/4...creational-arp



Recreational shooters using illegal tracer bullets sparked two fires Sunday on the Pawnee National Grassland. The first fire, called the Coal 2 Fire, burned approximately 62 acres of the Grassland, and a second fire burned a little more than an acre on private land. Those responsible for starting them will be cited. Their names were not released. Tracer bullets and other incendiary ammunition are illegal. The violation carries a $525 to $5,000 fine and can include a mandatory appearance in federal court. Recreational shooting information is available online at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/targetshooting.

It's mind-boggling how anyone so stupid can live long enough to perpetrate such idiocy. Brings to mind all the "no-shooting" signs on private property at Pawnee, riddled with bullet holes.

Some people look into the wrong end of the gun I swear........

Whoever thinks "Tracers" belong in a place with "Grasslands" in the name just isn't thinking right.
