Truckee Hobart Mills shooting area

[Viper49]

Have to start a new thread on Hobart Mills. Hobart Mills need some cleaning up and that is the shooters responsibility.
I just raked up a bunch of shot shell hulls and paper box to fill 4 big black trash bags. There are still a bunch of trash need to be pickup and if you go shooting there, can you folks please bring a couple of trash bags and pick up some trash and place them on the side of the road. I am currently working with the ranger on picking them up. Your help is very much appreciated.

Here is the update for Folks that shoots at Hobart Mills. I talked with a Tahoe Forest Ranger and they will dispose the trash that we pickup from the range. Please do your part and pickup the trash if you can? Just leave the trash bags by the side of the road.

Viper 49 this is helpful information. Is this area accessible now? (end of December) I would most definitely pack out 4 bags full. I recently got a remodel job in the Truckee Donner area and am there 2 weeks each month, job to run about 6 more months and would love to get trigger time while there.

Hobart isn't the only place near Truckee where people leave a mess. If you shoot at either the lower or upper ranges at Boca, please pack out some trash. If you shoot at any of these places, please bring your own target frames, gongs and reactive targets to shoot at instead of old electronics, plastic bottles, pieces of scrap steel, and other such crap. Don't forget to pick up your brass (including steel cases).

Boca is on National Forest Service land and while I rarely see anyone behind the gate who is not shooting, the garbage left behind by shooters with no manners still reflects badly on all of us.
