waterdawg2000 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is there any regulations, laws, codes, restrictions on shooting on BLM, National Forest lands, etc. in the Black Hills of of South Dakota and Wyoming? I am looking at buying land surrounded by Forest Service or BLM land. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born loser...in Montana Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Jamesbucklin, I shoot MG ' s and all small weapons on public lands where not posted "No Shooting "... know your back stop. A yearly land use fee is required BLM and State School Trust lands here in MT. Not sure about cannon... they are very concerned about fire. One thing , keep your shooting site clean... it is amazing to me that so many shooters trash out public lands ... I always bring extra garbage bags to pickup after assholes... I've even loaded up freezers, TV 's and assorted junk dipshits bring out to shoot and leave. PACK IT IN...PACK IT OUT! It's not just your land it's mine too.

mike todd Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 for years we shot at the same location in AZ (blm land) with no problems. ALLWAYS cleaned up all our refuse and brass, even policed the dirt disturbance at times. finally approached while shooting by an official that stated we could be cited and responsible for damage to rocks in the cliff face? we did a lot of .50cal. he took pics and our info concerning a truck sized boulder we had pecked at for years with a lot of resulting rubble, stated we would be contacted, but nothing ever came of it. we went back several times and nothing had changed so I assume all was ok. we do the cannons ONLY on our own ranch for obvious reasons.

Born loser...in Montana Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 miketodd, Never heard of" rock damage " ... but Forest Rangers around here don't like people trying to shoot "the Trees "... darn... no more cutting the firewood with the MG... Forest Rangers are now backing up the regulations with lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born loser...in Montana Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 James, As far as the cannon...check local BLM, FS local Mgmt office... if good to shoot , then have impacted area on your property... I know folks in the West routinely shoot cannon but , mostly on private land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 with my original post, I left out an important part. IN ARIZONA, to use state trust land, it is not legal to just go "plinking". you must have a current AZ hunting license and be engaged in "hunting activity" with law full weapons or you can be cited.
