[QUOTE="tonyf3, post: 2906213, member: 6649"] Typically, you'll see this in areas where civilization is encroaching into the NF. El Dorado and Tahoe NF are good examples and sheriff's will respond. These forests are high use and it can be tough to disappear to shoot. Checking with the Sheriff isn't bad. El Dorado had a real peach of a LEO about 10-15 years back that was known for confiscating rifles and stepping over boundries when he was stopping shooters. He ticketed me for shooting across a old road. For a visual, the road had small trees growing from the road and had been closed for over 20 years. Two funny endings to that one. First, the ticket went away. The bummer was the district ranger knew the guy was a problem and knew I had stopped by to ask about the location because he mentioned how clean my newly rebuilt White's boots were. Second, Bret had replaced the barrel on the rifle I was shooting that he threatened to confiscate. [/QUOTE]
