I'm glad you said that - saved me a long, disappointing drive on Thursday. When did that start?

Medford Pit is pretty well known, which is why it's pretty much always crowded and usually trashed. Most of the few other places remaining to us are relatively unknown and if you want to keep them, it's best if they stay that way. Keep in mind gun friendly folks are not the only ones who can read this stuff and there are many out there actively working to stop us shooting on public lands. Best to keep that info to private messages if possible, please.

Thanks for the concern but I think we can handle it. If you want to keep your super secret places secret so be it. But if we want to share were we shoot with others then that's on us. I have heard the "don't tell people where to shoot" all too much. If you are mad your spot is trashed or crowded go find a new one. There are miles and miles of forest service road to find your own spot to shoot and never tell anyone about. Or you can organize a clean up but never telling anyone where to shoot unless they know the secret handshake is ridiculous to me.

It doesn't sound like you realize how few places we still have open to us now, and how many we used to have before they became widely known and got shut down. I've been watching this trend happen since at least the early 90's; nothing good comes from publicizing your unsanctioned shooting areas. When you do that, it affects all of your fellow shooters too, not just you.
