Gooseneck Road

Does anybody know if it's open now?

Edit - I was there today (10/23/22), it is open. There are a lot of signs marking many different spots as unsafe for shooting or no shooting allowed at this spot, but after driving around for a while we found a great spot.

join 4 corners rod & gun club in Salem, ranges out to 200yds.

Other than not having anywhere to shoot shotguns, it's a good gun club.

Went out to gooseneck today cuz didn't wanna drive all the way to the range. Nobody else this afternoon up there. I see the state put in a new gate at the very beginning of the road right we're the gravel meets pavement. I assume they did this to close the region during fire season or when logging work is done.

Some new signs posted way up in the woods declaring unsafe spots to shoot. Still some extra trash laying around not too bad I've seen it much worse. Overall found my favorite spot tucked way in the back dead end road and got some good pistol work in.

Gate at the bottom of the hill still closed as of today.

I saw it was closed last weekend, I assumed they would open it up this week since we've had a little bit of rain in the fire danger must be reduced at least a little bit.

Thanks. I was out there last week. It's an hour drive and the only spot I know of out here where I can stretch out to 1,000m. Was not a happy camper when I was met with the Gate.

I go by there regularly.. I'll post when/if I see it's open.. next trip likely 2-3 weeks.

It's going to be another week or so until I can swing by there.. haven't forgotten!

I touch base with BLM once a week at least. They have no intentions of opening that gate until it's rained a whole bunch more. I was also told they will not issue any firewood permits until November.

I failed. Dark, rainy, foggy, traffic, missed the road. Kept going as I didn't bring anything special, just stuff I normally have save more ammo so didn't turn back.
Next time I'll have GPS on for penance.

Just found out through FB that apparently BLM closed Gooseneck Road to all shooting activities because people kept shooting towards private property and damaging the "no shooting" signs posted where private property are in sight/range.

Could be, and probably is, this place... Pics from Feb 2020.

I really hope this isn't true. Gooseneck has been my favorite spot for years at this point….
