Lucky doe at the range

[Jjwisled]

This morning at Laguna secs range , probably one of the safest places to be during deer season haha

Now I see it. I couldn't see it at first. DLM

Are those the "new" metals they put in? Looks like the same old "bars"! Can't straighten them out?
My god!
I offered to help buy new metals, would have even helped install

I couldn't believe it she walked in 2 minutes into the firing period ha-ha , yes those are the new steels they put up, I knocked two of the disc off the towers, the ro said that they come off pretty easy but drop back in easily enough

Finger quivering near trigger and saying: MUST....NOT...SHOOT...THE....DEER.

I have seen this at Angeles at least a dozen times over the years. The deer are so accustomed to civilization the the gun shots just prior to "cease-fire!" don't even phase them.

They just stroll right out on the range like it's feeding time.

Back when USI ......was open, on several
occasions we had to shoo turkeys
off the 200 yd MP range.

I knew someone that was practicing for baseball when a jackrabbit ran across the field.

The batter tossed the bat at it as a joke.

Killed it.

I've seen deer on two bay area ranges

One of those times the range staff called a cease fire and shooed them off. Metcalfe has been known to have cows wander into the range as well.

We saw 2 deer at Metcalf yesterday. The ROs gave out a warning over the intercom not to shoot them.

Yep, same used to happen at Chabot, deer & turkeys. Guess they can enjoy being outdoors & coexist (see what I did there?) with the range better than the average leftist.

Had this happen at Angeles. I did have my pistol pointed in the direction of the deer aiming at a metal target. I did not see the deer as I was focused on the target. Thankfully heard the loud yell to stop shooting and I did.

I've seen this happen at Angeles as well. Angeles range makes it clear that they will call DFG if an animal is shot on their property. (Though in the early 90s, when I first started shooting there, I think rattlesnakes were fair game. Not anymore -- wouldn't want tree huggers complaining about the indiscriminate slaughter of rattlesnakes now would we?)

By the looks of the splats on the frames, the safest place to be on that range might be right in front of the targets.
