If you check with the forest service, there are areas set aside as shooting ranges. Just be mindful of our drought here. They put a ban out for a while this summer for outdoor shooting in the woods. Are you looking to hunt goats, mule deer, elk, cat, bear or? The 22 is good to practice with, and the '06 is a good all around gun. You can hunt anything legal in this state with it. There's a section of the co-ar15 forum with places to shoot on it. I know theres a bunch of guys and gals up your way on there, so someone should have a place listed. Just google it, and you'll find it.
