To shoot on public land, it is necessary to identify areas that are BLM-approved. These areas will vary depending on where your shooting is taking place. Check with your local BLM office for permission to shoot there. If you're in a BLM-affiliated state, you can search the state’s land map for exact information.
Federal lands are not allowed to be used for target shooting.
A new federal law prohibits the shooting of target on 2,004 acres (both BLM and SITLA) of land. The new rule prohibits shooting in an area that is considered a high-risk site due to a lack of backstops at lower elevations and the close proximity to state highway 68. The new rule will have no significant impact on commercial or government entities.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is asking for public comments on the two interim final supplements rules that govern target shooting on Utah public lands. These rules were published July 1. These rules will apply up to the publication of the final supplementary. BLM determined that the interim final Supplemental Rules were necessary to protect and enhance the public's health, safety, and recreational enjoyment. The rules will be available for public comment through July 15th.
Consultation with Indian tribes
The Secretary for Interior will try to reach a memorandum with the Coquille Indian Tribe, in order to engage in cultural and historic activities within the Copper Salmon Wilderness. The BLM land swap map shows the Box R Ranch as "Proposed Rowlett selected" and "June 13, 2006". The Bureau of Land Management owns approximately forty acres.
Public comment period
The Bureau of Land Management is currently reviewing the state's hunting regulations and considering making changes. The agency will lease six parcels, totaling 6,658 acre. Public comments are encouraged about the proposal. The agency will consider initial public comments before preparing additional environmental assessments on the parcels. The date of the proposed changes is unknown, but public comments will be accepted until November 13.
Long-term target shooting closure
Utah's shooting sport council has rejected a proposal to close a public target shoot range in Salt Lake County. The group claims that the plan will punish law-abiding gun owner who aren't breaking the law. The map shows ownership patterns, including private, state, and federal land. The largest property owner is the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, or SITLA. The SITLA recently closed over 1,500 acres of land for target shooting, following temporary closures on adjacent federal lands. It also closed hunting on the adjacent lands.
A BLM closure order prohibiting target shooting in Utah County has been in effect since 2012. The old closure will be continued by the new order. The new order protects 900 acres public land in Utah County against hunters who might violate the order. Although the closure doesn't prohibit any other public activities it makes it more difficult to hunt in the area. Despite the potential danger for the public, the closure will stop any other activities that may damage the area's natural resources.

How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. Windy conditions can cause birds to flee quickly so it is best not to hunt in them. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. Be sure to have enough ammunition for as many birds and as many shots as you need.
If you end up killing many birds, it is important to wash and prepare the meat before you eat. It's best to cook the meat right away because it dries out very fast once you start cooking it. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. They usually fly low to the ground, which makes them easier targets. You should keep your duck hunting adventures secret until you can get close enough for a shot. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
