Salmonberry trashed again, Pt2...

[Koda]

Drove past the shooting locations on Salmonberry road today and they have lots of trash, again. Here are my observations...
In order of appearance from Hwy 26....

location #1:


Location #2:


Next up is a location I noticed in the past but this time I stopped for a closer look. Its located just past "location#2" shown above, its super small (maybe 15 yards) and tucked off the side of the road. The problem with this one is its not safe and should be officially closed.... it has no backstop. Take a look up close:

note: this is after I cleaned it up, it had shot up targets and trash. The log is where they place targets.

here is the same spot viewed from the road as your driving by....


here is a link to a map with a waypoint on its exact 45.764229,-123.413387 location: Hillmap - Backcountry Maps for the Obsessed (http://www.hillmap.com/m/ag1zfmhpbGxtYXAtaGRychULEghTYXZlZE1hcBiAgIDwnLKxCww)
the direction of shooting is on the south side of the road and as the map shows thats shooting downhill, I know its heavily forested but again there is no backstop and forest alone does not qualify.

Next up is location #3:

This one wasn't actually so bad except they left all those orange clay pigeons. I see the tree that was standing last I was here has been shot down.

I did not have the time to check out the rock quarry. I only picked up a small bag of trash but was too pressed for time to do a proper cleanup at any of the locations.

Nice work, Koda! Sure appreciate the update!

 

[Koda]

Im curious what others thing about the location I think is unsafe?

UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

[Koda]

it also dawned on my that the unsafe location is shooting down an abandoned road. There is probably still an old road grade back there that some hunter or intrepid hiker could use to navigate.


before I cleaned it up that log is where the targets were placed.

My daughter, snl and I were at location 3 a week ago last Saturday. Other than some shotgun shells, it was looking good. The tree was down then. The sites below it were busy, but looked to have trash that had been left. We got up there around 7:30 and there was already a lot of traffic. After we were done we drove on to the quarry and it looked good.

Which way to get in location# 3 and how far from #1

Aren't the clay pigeons biodegradable?

Which way to get in location# 3 and how far from #1

roughly another 1-2 mile down the same road on the right. There is a junction in between, go straight...

 

[Koda]

some are some aren't. Its still littering.

Which way to get in location# 3 and how far from #1

They are all along the route to the rock pit and visible from the road. the whole way up is littered with places where people liter.

Thanks

The tree has been down in location 3 for a few months. Glad to see it's pretty clean. I've seen it in pretty bad shape a few times.

 

[Koda]

I think thats the second tree in about a years time thats been shot down in that spot. I wonder how long people will keep that up before they get a clue.

 

[Timbertodd]

Koda unfortunately there are some who couldn't get a clue if it was stuck to their forheads.

I was there after one of the recent clean up efforts. Whoever was responsible for that massive project has my respect. There wasnt a single shotgunshell haul anywhere. That was a few months back.

It really is a shame inconsiderate shooters do this. I guess this is another reason why we dont tell folks about new shooting spots.. Because it always winds up trashed by their friends of friends.

My hat is off to all of them.

 

[Koda]

its an endless cycle... it would meet the definition of insanity if I didn't expect any other result.

If anyone wants to go in on an Adopt-a-spot thing for Salmonberry, Lousignant, or simmer other spot in the area, I'd like to be part of that.
