The BLM Surface Management Status maps and DAG maps do not show specific areas for hunting or target shooting. Adjacent private property owners are within their legal rights to prevent people from crossing their land to get to the public land. Not all public land parcels have public access. An interactive online map is also helpful in locating public lands. The BLM sells Surface Management Status maps (in the desert regions these maps are also called Desert Access Guides) that can be helpful in locating public lands. Crossing private lands to access public land is not permitted, unless you obtain and carry written, date-specific permission from the private landowner. Shooters are responsible for fires started by recreational activities.Īccess to public lands must be on public roads. The public is reminded that hot bullet fragments and exploding targets from recreational shooting can spark a wildfire. Shooters are responsible for knowing applicable laws and using firearms and other recreational shooting weapons in a safe manner. The BLM allows the use of firearms on public lands as provided for in California state law. Target shooting is generally allowed on BLM-administered public lands, as long as it is done in a safe manner, without damaging natural resources or improvements on public lands. Shooting is strictly prohibited in developed recreation sites and other areas where posted. In California, there are no designated target shooting sites managed by the BLM, but recreational shooting opportunities are available on undeveloped lands, and at several public shooting ranges. Public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are available for a variety of undeveloped recreational activities, including target shooting, except where prohibited by federal, state, and local laws. If you have questions on areas that may be appropriate for hunting, you are encouraged to contact the BLM Field Office having jurisdiction over the area. Other visitors may be using the same areas for recreational uses such as camping, hiking, biking, and rock-hounding. Safe and prudent actions should be followed at all times.

If you are hunting with the aid of a commercial outfitter or guide, you should ensure that he or she is permitted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. On most public lands in California, you may not drive off existing roads and trails to hunt, even to retrieve downed game animals. Remember, it is illegal to shoot within 150 yards of a dwelling or building without owner permission, from or across any graded or public road, or from any type of motor vehicle. Hunting and trapping near developed recreation sites and areas is not allowed. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates hunting and fishing on all public lands. California is phasing-in Assembly Bill 711 that by July 1, 2019, requires nonlead ammunition to be used when taking any wildlife with a firearm anywhere in the state.
