If you legitimately can pin it on the OHV crowd then BLM isn't going to shut Panoche down to shooters; they will realize that ticked off bikers and quad riders are the ones to blame and will focus their attention in that community.

We need pungi sticks!
Ok, let's follow through with what I think you're saying. Let's say it does matter who did it, and they shut down access to the OHV crowd.

How do they selectively shut down public land to just OHV'ers? If the gate is locked, how does a shooter get in yet keep others out?

I don't see the practicality of the BLM rangers trying to screen out who can use the land and who can't. I do see them shutting down Panoche completely so as to avoid having to tackle this screening issue.

Let's try a different analogy. We're all shooters, whether we shoot shotgun, rifle, or pistol; whether we hunt or target shoot. If there's an ammo ban or a feature ban, the bigger implications affect everyone equally no matter what your shooting discipline might be. I see Panoche and the abuse to be the same. Remember, united we stand, divided we fall..

Regardless if it were shooters or ohv'ers who yanked it off the hinges the gate was full of bullet holes

Yep, Chris hit the nail on the head. Some parts looked like swiss cheese.

Ok let's get back to the repair needed. Looks like we are not getting any offers of someone with a mobile welder. What if we rented a welder and a generator to run it and found a calgunner who can weld to do the work? I'm going to ask my maintenance lead to check into what it would cost for renting a unit and generator for a couple of days. Then all we need is a pick up to haul it down. OH yeah will need a torch to burn a hole in the top hinge point.

Missing the point. If BLM attributes to shooters, the whole place goes away. If blamed on OHVers, BLM has no deterrent option except enforcement. When CC had certain trails closed, BLM upped outreach and patrols when closed trails were found to be freshly disturbed. They didn't bother hunters and shooters since they were not responsible. Realizing that they had to stop an impacted group of overall users led to a proportional response. It wasn't until the EPA involved its bogus science that BLM completely closed the area.

Same with Panoche. BLM does have the resources to conduct more enforcement and outreach and if they determine it's OHVers they are less likely to totally shut down Panoche. They're an institution, they have SOPs. They tend to stick to them. In dealing with BLM for the last 12 years I've seen the pattern repeated over and over again in California and Nevada.

That's why it is important, if it can be shown, to distance shooter abuse (or lack thereof) from OHV abuse.

Compeletely appreciate your experience and perspective, but I think you've overlooked the detail that the gate has been shot and the rangers I'm in touch with specifically stated that the hinges have been shot enough to compromise their function.

Therefore, I can only presume that shooters of some kind were involved.

There is a google map somewhere around here but I cant find it so I made a new one. We should put this on the first post about Panoche threads because people always ask for directions. If anyone can think of anything I can change or add let me know.

Heads up, I saw Big5 is selling one of those popup canopies for $69 after $10 instant rebate. I'm going to get one, it's 10x10, and bring it to use at Panoche. I didn't have one last time, I'll be sure to get one this time.

Then have a prefabbed section of pipe with a top cap welded on it. Once the gate is lifted into position the new pipe section with the cap is slipped into the top hinge point. Then weld around the cap to the top hinge point. Question now is who has the equipment to do this?
If welding in the field, don't forget water & shovels ...

Be careful; the cheaper ones I've seen don't look too durable. I just saw the FirstUp model at Walmart for $89 or so (<100). I love my First Up and constantly get compliments on it.

And yes, a definite must have for Panoche ...

I picked one up just yesterday, I'll set it up and see if it's good - if not, back to Big5 it goes. Thanks for the Walmart tip - I'll have to check that one out.

A tip re: Eazy-ups... In windy places (like Panoche sometimes) you need to figure out a way to anchor them down, otherwise they take off like a kite and go bouncing down the landscape like a big tumbleweed.

At my daughter's swim meets we used to use bungee cords and 5-gallon buckets filled with water from the pool, but you get the idea. There's lots of ways to do it.

Out at Panoche some Tent stakes work took. Not much fun hauling around 5 gallon buckets full of weights.

I haven't used 'em yet but OSH has a set of long stakes that have nice heads you can grip made by Coleman (long silver stake w/grey head that kinda looks like the charging handle of an AR15; set of 6 or 8 I think). The cash register gal was gaga over how good they were and it was only $4-6.

The canopy makes a real nice moving target when it blows down range

If it gets real windy and the steaks hold, the canopy roof can buckle.

Folks, update from the rangers -

Quote:
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I wanted to do some checking on the gate before I gave you an answer. We're actually getting ready to build a new gate down the road and put up a welded pipe fence in front of the target shooting area with a gate in the middle of it. The reasoning behind this is that people can still park near the road and walk out with legal targets, but they can't unload a refrigerator, etc. The vandalized gate will be going away.

Construction will probably take place next spring. If you or your guys would be interested in helping with that project, we would be more than happy to have your help. A dedication sign with your organization could also be placed on-site to reflect the BLM/club cooperation. No worries if you can't, though.
So - key points:

1) Calguns rebuilding the gate - squash this idea for now, looks like the rangers will do it in the spring.

2) Volunteer to help rebuild in the spring - let's think about gathering a list of volunteers who will help with this activity - I'm in for it!

Interesting post... I've seen the gate and the upper hinge has been shot off. It needs a new one fabricated. Why the morons didn't just shoot the padlock, I don't know. Probably couldn't hit it at 4 feet. A sign is a good idea, But it would just be used as a target unless posted on the bulletin board near the road. We should state that this area will be closed if this dumping continues. The camera is the best idea so far. Video evedence can prosecute. All we need is a license plate no.
I always bring my little weber folks. You're welcome to toss something on. I just bought a gunsafe. It was way out of my budget but a good deal, so I'm not sure if I can make this one. I'll certainly give it a shot though. If I don't go to Panoche at least once a month, I have a kiniption.

I have a camera brand new in the box that I'd be willing to donate. It's a consumer version of a surveillance camera. I believe it has RCA outputs to hook to TV/VCR (not wireless). Not like it's self contained for "out in the middle of nowhere" use but it might do the job. Sounds like just the gesture made to the BLM rangers would generate good will even if it doesn't get used.

It's possible to build an enclosure for the camera but you'd also have to figure out how to power the camera and wirelessly transmit the signal to the ranger station. Currenty, there isn't any wired communication lines out there. Transmitting any signal wirelessly for long distances with any significant amount of power would imply getting the FCC and licensing involved.

All in all, I agree with nagorb that it isn't practical right now to do it that way. We just need to concentrate our efforts to help the rangers out in the spring when they're ready to put in the new gate.

Hey that's a great attitude! Really appreciate the effort.

Awesome, thanks! Leave the bags in a pile somewhere neatly - we'll add to it and I'll alert the rangers where to pick up the stuff.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it as of now. Things might change but I could be missing out on the cleanup and shoot. Have fun. Be safe. Give Bob a break from the brass. Oh and don't forget to let him tell you about his ONE SHOT ONE KILL tannerite experience last time.
