I don't see a lot of recent activity on this page. Has anyone been to Crooked Finger in 2021? If so, do people still go there now? I live in Hubbard and am looking for somewhere to shoot. Thanks.

I checked it out today and it's still gated. Some folk obviously still shoot (and litter) there but I chose not to trespass. I was disappointed but will have to brake in my new handgun somewhere else.
Has anyone been to Crooked Finger recently?
I'm new to Salem and looking for a place outside.

Thanks!

I have not been up to crooked finger in 3 years last time I went up there was Nov 2017 and Weyerhaueser had a gate past Camp Dakota, I use to go up to M.P. 5 and there was a blue gate up there but there were some Berms up there that were good to shoot targets off. has anybody been up there recently? have they opened the gates?

Depends on the day. Seems like it's been less available lately. Probably best to try and find a different spot.
Anyone know if the "long range" is still accessible and usable or is it part that is blocked off? (The 200 yard range right at the coordinates listed above)
Thanks

Within the last week Warehouser Company has installed a full width pipe gate that blocks access to The road beyond the cattle crossing which is just past Camp Dakota. There is no access to either of the two old logging Yarder spots that have been used for years as target practice "Ranges" and I use the term "Range" lightly as people have not been cleaning up, for sometime, pop and beer cans blown to sharp bits all over clay pidgins broken and landing every place, well over 1000lbs of shell casings everything from 22 to 308, it has just been turned into a dump, and is or was quite dangerus to take young people up to teach fireams safety and use. About a Day before the gate went up, about half of my Town Scotts Mills went up with trash bags, buckets rakes shovels and hauled off several pickup loads of just garbadge, closes, diapers, cans food, pop and beer cans car parts, you name it we hauled if off. Then the logging company came in and put a huge gate across the road with no public notice to us or any one else

With the ODFW posting absolutely no burning of camp fires in the area, I wonder how the company will feel if a lighting strike hits and the Fire crew has to cut the gate down just to get up the damn mountain to save it and us just below.

I understand installing a gate if number one the company has the legal right to do without public opinion, but if it is BLM or Public land.. well remember Malheur County Oregon and the Bundys?

I've never been there but have been trying to get out that way. Does anyone know if the new Weyerhaeuser gate is before or after the places to shoot?
