Cease fire is at sun-set
They don't want a nightime accident

Also the way the canyons are / it's hard to see late in the day/ At dusk

[MikeR]

Was there a lot of people out last weekend?

Not too bad Really
But
Maybe the 'word' is out by now that's it's open again

[Heliman]

Called the ranger station, Bee Canyon is closed this weekend due to red flag conditions.

[GromTom]

This might be a bit off topic, but do you guys know if all national forests in Socal have the same level 1-5 restrictions? i'm just trying to find out if i can shoot in my local national forest lands, thanks.

Bee Canyon is in San Bernardino nat forest, I googled "USFS San Bernardino, shooting" before and came up with the USFS pages that covered shooting locations and rules and it has the 1-5 restrictions listed.

Try that for your area or call a ranger station that would issue a wood cutting permit, those restrictions also apply to chainsaws.

[GromTom]

Thanks!

Anyone every had their firearms 'inspected' by rangers? Especially featureless rifles with big evil mags?

We had a run in with a ranger once (ATV related) and he was very nice.

Also what's the latest on it being open or closed? Would think it'd be pretty moist up there the next couple weeks.

The Canyons are OPEN

The roads are in Great shape. With that little rain , the dry ground just sucked it up. nice not to be dusty up there

[kentactic]

Ill probably head out next weekend.

[chknlyps2]

Check with ranger station daily because conditions change, with todays wind and low humidity shooting is only till 1PM today.

[Letterman52]

Open till 1 PM today.

[SoCalCitizen]

Good times on Saturday with nice cool weather to help with barrel cooling. Ha

[jkonquer]

I'll be out there today before noon. Don't be shy to say hi

[jkonquer]

Boy, the place was packed today! Managed to get in one of the smaller canyon. Good thing i only brought my 22 and pistols. Had a blast though.

[Letterman52]

Went yesterday crazy early. Last canyon before you climb the hill. Took out the wife's brothers. Pretty damn good time. Took out 4 huge bags of trash .

[ColtShooter]

Am home and am hoping to get out this afternoon if possible. Anyone know the conditions?

[SoCalCitizen]

I'm guessing recent dryness and santa ana winds have closed the canyon to shooting for the time being. Over.

[Heliman]

It was closed today and so far they havnt updated the activity levels for tomorrow.

[Seven_SixTwo]

FS website says shooting is open. Logic says otherwise. My brother in law lacks logical reasoning skills and intends on going tomorrow...What's the actual?

[chknlyps2]

Tomorrow, Sunday 1-19-14 is activity level 5 so no shooting

Thanks bud...puts my mind at ease.

[Delfuego]

Today, the activity level is 3 which means that shooting is allowed only until 1pm.

[Eat Dirt]

The recent rains have had No bad effect om the canyons

In fact.... The rain really helped pack down the dusty road

[richardfl3]

Went out today with 8 members of my family. Had a great time. Sadly there was lots of trash in the canyons. We pulled out a tv and a bunch of trash. All in all a good time.

[p220nut]

Was out at the canyon today to test some new builds - spent more time picking up trash and hauling it out than shooting

people please if you bring it in - take it out
it only takes a little time and effort if everyone does there part.

[Eat Dirt]

^^ Thanks for your Help out there

Unfortunately, your msg. to clean won't be seen by the people who make the mess, since you are preaching to the choir. The Calgunners who go to Bee Canyon know the FS can close this down at anytime due to the trash, so they pick up. It's the inconsiderate AHs who are the problem children, so the burden falls on all of us and like minded shooters to clean it.

Thank you for your efforts.

Anyone know if they are still open?
