Hunting is permitted on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management - but some areas are closed to hunting and shooting.  State of California hunting regulations are enforced on Federal lands. Hunters are required to follow all state and local laws and ordinances which relate to the use of firearms, or to the taking of game.

Target Shooting is allowed on public lands - but some areas are closed to shooting.  However, you must provide your own targets and remove your debris before you leave the site.  It is illegal to shoot at trees, signs, outbuildings, or other objects on Federal lands that are for the public's enjoyment. The Bureau of Land Management adheres to the guidelines issued by the State of California, Department of Justice, regarding the types of weapons allowed for use on the public lands.  Use of assault weapons is not permitted.

Public roads must be utilized to gain access to the public lands.  Crossing private lands to access public lands is not permitted unless you obtain permission from the private landowner.  Our surface management maps may assist you in locating Federal lands.

Safety - Safe and prudent actions should be followed at all times.  Be aware of the other public land visitors who may be utilizing the same areas for other recreational uses, i.e., camping, hiking, biking, and rock-hounding. If you have questions regarding areas that may be appropriate for hunting or shooting, you should contact the BLM Field or District Office having jurisdiction for the area:

Bureau of Land Management Maps and information packets cost $4.00. They have an index for all their maps for free, make sure and get that so you'll know what map names you're after. Make sure and get the land status management maps which help assist you in locating Federal lands. BLM calls them "Surface and Mineral Ownership Maps". These maps come in 2 editions, "Surface" and "Surface/Mineral". Get the "Surface/Mineral" version. The map scale is 1:100,000. For the southern California deserts the BLM maps are called "Desert Access Guide Maps". There is also a free index for the Desert Access Maps and the maps are 1:100,000 in scale.

Stockdale Mountain BLM - Monterey Co. E-mail from Joe about Stockdale Mountain. I was out at Stockdale Mt. getting info. What I found out from residents up there was scary. The only access is a narrow point off of Slack Canyon. Rd. The boundaries are not marked clearly! Mr. Kester owns all land around the area and patrols it often and Fish and Game also roams through daily. I was told by one of the outfitters on your page (one I trust and have a personal relationship with) up there that this area is pretty much a trap for hunters. I was told that going up there is just cause for trouble. There are no friendly warnings, no matter what game is being pursued. I hear that many hunters are sighted for poaching even when they are not meaning to do so. I suggest that you post a warning on your site for ALL TO BEWARE! and to know their location at all times. This area does have lots of hogs, but the terrain is thick with brush and hunters get in trouble when they look for a clearing (Kester's land). I suggest using a topo map with GPS in this area, and talking to DFG for boundaries. By the way, Kester is an outfitter and guide. Thanx Joe.

The folks that put on the clinic are professional packers, and they know their stuff. They put on two clinics every spring, so you have missed it for this year. I have been two different years, and will find someone new to take next year, that's my excuse to go back. I learn new things every time I'm there. The best part is that they are avid hunters and outdoors people. Give them a call at PH# 530-846-0947, and ask for a catalog, and to have your name put on their list for their next clinic. Thanks to doghouse for this info.

San Bernardino Co.Shooting Zone Map. These map shows where it is legal to hunt with rifle, shotgun and night time hunting for varmints. I scanned it up and you can download the maps for future reference if you want since S.B no longer sells this map. From what I know, this map is still current but you can check with the local sheriff office to make sure. I've drawn in some crude boundaries for the National Parks and military land but you should use a topo map or GPS to be sure where you are. Each little grid square on these maps is a section on your topo map and all the sections are marked with Township, Range and Section info. These maps files are big, about 200k to 300k so they may take time to load if you're on a dial up modem. If the map doesn't load all the way, hit the refresh button on your browser.

To save the maps to your computer using Internet Explorer, right click on the map after it downloads, and click save "Save pic as" and then pick a folder or location to save the map on your puter.

11/3/98 .... The San Bernardino Forest has reopened 4 shooting ranges. The ban on target shooting back in September, 1997 was because of a fire blamed on target shooters south of Running Springs. The four areas legal to target shoot are: Manzanita Flats on Forest Road 1N09 south of Running Springs, Big Pine Flats Northwest of Big Bear Lake, Lightning Gulch off Highway 38 near Heartbar, and Arrastre off Highway 38 east of Big Bear Lake. The range at Cactus Flats is closed due to the damage to the surrounding vegetation that the Forest officials deemed needed protection. The San Jacinto Mountain areas will also be legal to target shoot in. The shooting range at Lytle Creek is to be opened any day. For a detailed map of the shotgun only hunting areas, call the San Bernardino County Fire Special Districts office at PH# 909-387-5940 (157 W. 5th Street, 2nd Floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0451). While the Forest Service has designated four areas for target shooting, the hours of shooting in these areas is regulated.  Under the forest management plan, you, as a shooter, you must first contact the governing body, the Forest Service, prior to use of the designated area.  Upon contact, you will be given an activity level report rating which dictates the hours you will be permitted to shoot in your chosen area.
