Calling all fellow Coloradans!
This past week, I moved back home to Greeley, Colorado. I was checking online for a good gun range for rifle, pistol, and shotgun shooting when I came across a thread by coloradokevin (How we lose our ranges (with pictures)) that reminded me of all the public land here in Colorado. Once such area is the Pawnee National Grassland, which is very close to me.
Unfortunately, I didn't get into shooting until after leaving CO for school, so I have no idea how the whole public grasslands thing works in regards to shooting. I did check out the Forest Service website, and understand that there are certain rules and regulations. But that aside, can I really just drive up to the area and start shooting?
If so, how does one even begin to select an area? Should I just hop in my car and go? This all just seems too good to be true.
EDIT: Oh, and YES, I will be cleaning up after myself.
