Up there this Morning On I think 5 or 6 place needs work again as i said in the other Thread we did our part to clean up after we were fired 50 Shotgun shells but left with a 5 gallon bucket nearly full of shells took our targets made from sod pallets but we took them home with us also to use another day.

A huge mud puddle on the trail and this guy does Not go around it / Tries to go thru it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eat Dirt]

More help is better ...Right !




The gangs all Here.................




What a Mess.
But he got out........................after a Lot of tugs

[DragonX_Navy_Vet]

we went around it and there was a smaller truck getting out of it earlier today like 0845-0900 time frame today and we were sliding bad going around it LOL if you have a small truck why try to drive through it heck we watched big lifted trucks drive around

[DragonX_Navy_Vet]

Heading out to the range this afternoon with my Brother in Law to Bore sight his Savage Axis 30-06 today is supposed to be a good day for shooting too

[chknlyps2]

Today march 18th the activity level is a 3 so shooting is only till 1pm. Seems like they are getting more cautious about the possibility of fire and cutting us off early compaired to the years before.

[DragonX_Navy_Vet]

sadly there were 7 or 8 people out there shooting from noon till 4pm i was one of them didnt see anything posted out there and no rangers drove by and said anything to anyone shooting.

Hi all,

Long time lurker, only had a couple of post

How far north on Bee Canyon Trail do you have to go before you hit the target shooting areas? I'm going for the first time probably on this Friday, don't want to be in the wrong spot. According to the site activity level 1 should be in effect.

Usually the rangers drop in to visit right?

Thanks in advance

First :: Welcome Aboard !

Second :: Turn off Hwy. 74 ( Go to the left )
Follow the only dirt road about 1 ( One ) mile
The first shooting spot will be the canyon with the big bolders in a row / to lay your gear on and shoot from
All the shooting spots will be on your left

[Vendetta77]

Thanks a bunch Ranger Dirt . The site was a bit vague on specifics, so that helped. Do the rangers drop by often at the spots?

Was out there yesturday on Range 1 early in the morning like 0700 early and 1 is in bad Shape but it was a fun pack morning of shooting. With Rains today i wonder how the Road is going to be for the next few days.

Also Helped and Lady learn to fire her 38 Snub Nose out there it was a pretty good day

I saw the guys that left that mess, we were on our way out while they were still "shooting" we had to clean up a big before we could set up. I dont have a truck so i had to pile up their easy up on the side.

[Eat Dirt]

UPDATE ::
The main road going into the shooting area has been graded ( Somewhat ! )

From Doublecheck to the Gate going to the Orchard , The road looks a lot better

From the Forestery gate up ( Lg. White gate ) ///It's the same

Should b a Nice weekend out there

[Roushee97]

Awsome! Good to know eat dirt, thanks for the heads up.

[MikeR]

We went out today around 12 and to our amazement there was hardly anyone out there. Actually I was more surprised when I called and she said open until one. WooHoo!

I don't know what valley we were in but it was trashed. I asked my Son to start picking some of the husks while I unloaded, he asked me for a trash bag and went at it. I was thinking, that's a good start. My wife and son got to shoot a few AKs for the first time and a Glock we just got, everything ran 100% so that's always nice. Rangers rolled up about about five til one and told us we had seven minutes and left. Really good day I was thinking. We finished off the ammo we brought, cleaned up, packed up and started heading out. Both my wife and son told me they like the Glock better than the the 226(Glock has a smaller grip), but my wife said she like the 1911 the most. I told my wife ill keep her a little longer and told the boy I cant kick him out until he turns 18.

Today was a good day.

BTW EatDirt, was that you in the UTV hunting for brass?

[Eat Dirt]

I was cruse'in the Hood .................
Then went up to the North Fork stream crossing

Got a Record number of Alum. cans today
Must of been a lot of thirsty shooters out there today

New to the forum. I live in French Valley. I'll keep an eye out for range clean day. Is the Bee Canyon area still open? Does it usually close in the summer due to fire hazard?

They will reopen when the Mud sticks to your boots ///Is a good rule of thumb

[jkonquer]

It all depends on mother nature, If we have a wet fall, high humidity and no santa anna winds it will open early. If there is no rain, high winds and humidity in the low teens it might be way later.

The Forest Service collects weather data every day, that along with weather forecasts let them determine when people can have camp fires when camping, use a chainsaw to cut firewood with a permit or go shooting. all three are tied together.
