That said, that's awesome to see those pictures. I've been there a lot, but never seen a deer there.

the grounds where the worst I have ever seen there.

first time I have seen a deer walk thru

That's not good to hear. I try to clean up around there as well. I wish more people would do this. It seems that too many people disrespect the place, and the only thing that gets picked up is the brass.

there is a guy that comes up and picks up the brass for the scrap. I am off monday so I may go up there with a gun or not and help with the clean up again. either way a trip worth while.

the lady said she is going to see if they can get someone to come up on the weekends more and check on the range. may not help with the trash being left behind. may help with the extra holes in everything else

Every year deer browse just out of range from the shot. Actually, they look like they'd be showered with shot but they must be just out of range or they don't mind lead shower.

4 traps and 20 guns blazing away... no worries. It's sight to see.

We have that at the Highland Pistol/Rifle range all the time. The traps sit on a hill side and throw out over a low marsh/swamp area. We see deer out there all the time while we are shooting and the broken birds and shot just seem to fly over/around them and they don't pay a lick of mind!!! We had 37 turkeys last spring/early summer during a large registered shoot and each time a shot went off, the toms would gobble. They must have died from so much gobbleing that we havent seen them since in that large of group!!!! :happy0157:

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:37 AM.
