Went up there a few weeks ago and found it closed again for some work going on around the pit.
Is there a web sight that I can find out the status of the pit before I drive 1.5 hours?


Yes. The DNR posts closures of the Harry Osbourne Wilderness on it website.

I have a buddy, who heard there has been serious discussion about keeping it closed. You hear anything of the sort?

Look for Harry Osborne Forest under the Recreation section.

I'm new here, bumping this post as I would also like to know of any open shoot areas in the area.

I would also volunteer to be a part of any cleanup groups

I would contact the local DNR office.

Northwest Region Office
360-856-3500
northwest.region@dnr.wa.gov
919 N Township St.,
Sedro Woolley, WA 98284-9384

I saw on BSVMB that Medford was open again, but definitely call or email the DNR office before heading out there. They were super helpful when I called last month and even emailed me some alternate shooting locations.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Interesting...the DNR web page for Harry Osborne Forest still shows that it's closed. Perhaps nobody has bothered to update it.

I live right under Medford pit and I have been watching the website saying it was closed but I heard rumor it was open so 2 days ago on my way home I drove up to the pit since it is only 5 minutes from my home. There were no signs saying it was closed and there was not any no shooting signs, in fact they added new signs with the rules for shooting and the hour they are open. I drove around the pit and it looked completely open. Time to go shooting boys!!

Nice! It figures that my schedule is full Mon-Wed when the temps are supposed to be near or in the eighties...

When you get ready to drag that smoker up there too, let me know, David, and I will move heaven and earth to get there

Sweet. Medford is not my favorite because of the asshats and tweaks, but at 12 on a Thursday it can be a great place to shoot.

called middle of last week and was told it was open, went up yesterday and had a great time.
we must have picked up close to 300 shotgun shells, and their were tons more... maybe next time I'll bring a rake to make it easier.
People need to clean up after themselves or else we'll lose it as a place to shoot.
