Forest Planning Rule Will Affect Hunting And Target Shooting

[upnorthvoice]

The forest Service restricts ATV use and now this!!!

There is no requirement for the Forest Service to provide for hunting and shooting in land management plans, nor to address impacts to these activities from other land management decisions. Shooting has suffered the most from not being treated as a legitimate recreational activity on forestlands.

Some years back we lost the gun range and shooting privileges in the Sand Dune SF due to ...well lets just say expansion and it stinks cause the range that was built was great and there were thousands of dollars and alot of time donated in building it. now it a horse park..go figure

I hunter grouse years ago in the Sand Dunes SF, back when you could drive a 4x4 truck off road when I lived in Andover.

This is BIG!! National Forest isn't required to provide hunting and shooting in national forests. First it restricted four wheelers and now the citizens rights to hunt on federal property.
