Quote HistoryQuoted: What kind of shooting? 50-100 yards at the longest. Somewhere I can setup my steel for pistol. Possibly sight in a rifle (least important). Mostly want to go test the .22LR AR I just assembled for my son  , and shoot pistol with the wife.

There's a range on state trust land about 12-13 miles south of Smith Lake on Brown's Meadow Rd. Literally right on the side of the road.
Pretty informal there and you can bring and set up targets easily in the 50-100yd range. You need to purchase a "state land recreational use permit" for $10 either here or at the local FWP office in Kalispell. |

It’s been a while since I’ve used it, but there was a Kelly humped logging road about 6 miles up Patrick Ck Rd that was commonly used for shooting.

Go up toward Tally Lake, you’ll reach a point where there’s a road on the left and kind of a half-arsed Y. That’s Mountain Meadow Rd, IIRC. Not far up that road there’s a spot where you can get 200 meters if you work it right, or less if you use a big sand pile as a backstop instead of the mountain.
I haven’t been out there for a couple years so maybe it’s been bought by rich Clownifornians by now, IDK. |

I think you can get that pass anywhere you can buy hunting and fishing licenses. I got mine at Snappy’s. |

I think it's good March 1-Feb 28th of the following year. You can probably get it just about anywhere but the website directs you to your local FWP office if you want to get it in person. Curiously, the recreational permit for state trust land for an individual/family is issued by FWP but the commerical use/logging/mineral/other permits are issued by the DNRC. I'd love to get some firewood there, but I'm pretty sure you have to bid on the permits, sometimes competitively. |

I thought our hunting and fishing licenses included that fee already?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought our hunting and fishing licenses included that fee already? No those are just for taking the King’s Deer and Fish. There’s a separate fee that must be surrendered to the King if you want to use the King’s land. The King has a million ways to harvest coin from you, and just as many to trip you up and harvest even more coin in fines. |
