Anyone know any safe, acceptable locations to shoot out in the dessert? Preferably on the west side.

Havent confirmed this but at the shooting park the other day they were telling me that BLM was going to start cracking down on anyone in the desert.

They already shut down all the desert to off-road travel around my house(Mountains Edge). :cuss:
I know they're not catching me(YZ426), my kids(YZ250f's) might even be able to out run them.
You can't outrun the radio.
I use the Lovell canyon shooting spot. its not to far and i love it.
Target shooting is prohibited within the RRCNCA. Shooting is allowed within the SMNRA. The following acts are prohibited. Discharging a firearm or any other implement capable of taking human life, causing injury or damaging property: (1) in or within 150 yards of a residence, building, campsite, developed recreation site or occupied area; or (2) across or on a Forest Development Road or a body of water adjacent thereto, or in any manner or place whereby any person or property is exposed to injury or damage as a result of such discharge.
Ya know, I suspect that the closing of some popular shooting spots in the desert are more so related to the fact that shooters that frequent these spots are PIGS! and do not clean up their trash. The first time i ever went out to mile marker 18? i believe off the 95 I was shocked at the amount of garbage left at these places. Frickin television sets, cars, refrigerators you name it, it was out there and shot to hell.
I remember as a child growing up around firearms my father would take me to a place on BLM land known as cherry creek to shoot. It was closed down due to garbage and trash being left as well as people shooting up the signs, buildings that were there "barns" and pretty much anything else.
It would not surprise me that we are loosing our shooting spots due to the massive amounts of garbage and trash that people leave at these places.
Would be a great community service, PR campaign, for the OC movement, as well as most likely make the news if they are informed to hold an event of OCers cleaning up this garbage at popular shooting locations.
I hope we dont lose (not loose) any spots.

NED DRAGONS....POWER PIG, HELLO
^^^^It's not quite in Nye county but just past the top of the "hump" is Lovell Canyon.
Here is a google map someone over one Nevada Shooters has put together. they even put the indoor ranges on it also.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any other spots listed besides the Lovell Canyon shooting location. I was wondering if anyone knew of other places to go shooting in the desert?
