Hodge road alternative?

[leviathanxx]

Hi all! Looking for some good BLM land as my typical place involved Hodge road which has become unsafe with all the crazy unsafe shooters out there. Was wondering if anyone could pm me a better place as I would prefer to shoot alone. Or at least any advice would be appreciated. I did download the onX app and see where BLM land is but not sure which areas are good for ranging out.

Use onyx and find your own. No one gives up private spots. If done then soon ruined for everyone. Kern county public or BLM land best cannot target shoot in LA county except ranges and blm land.

If you have a truck or a suv with at least some ground clearance....just go past the first line of shooters at Hodge and go into the middle. Or closer to the Rte 66 side. You can get about a mile in and usually find a nice spot all to your self. That's what I do.

You can try 1N09 Recreational Shooting Site

Not going to give a spot, but here's a map of allowed areas. Nearly everything north of Barstow on the 15 and 40 is open so find yourself a spot. Strongly recommend a vehicle with 4 wheel drive and good clearance.

And don't forget....its not good enough to take out the trash you bring in , take a little extra. The desert God's will not curse you. Remember ..the hills have eyes .....

Google map is your best friend . Satellite view . Mark few spots and head over with full tank a gas and do some exploring .

This is how I do it in Norcal.

If you drive past all the honda civics at the entrance and go in about a mile or so at hodge rd. you`ll have a spot just for yourself.

There is a spot in Joshua Tree that is nice

Drive another 20 min north on 15 fr Irwin rd or calico area plenty open and quiet. Use to shoot camp in area since mid 90s until I moved out of ca.
