It is a college town. Utah State University.
I'm dealing with the opposite issue right now. I'm a transplant living in South Texas. Bought a decent amount of land, surrounded by empty pastures. Got to shoot whenever I wanted, and everything was great. Now a bunch of the locals are buying up the pastures since they're old enough to move out of their family homes, and they're building houses in those pastures. They all complain about my shooting, and I just find it all so ironic. I can't wait to start calling them a bunch of California liberals so I can watch their heads explode at the conundrum.
Maybe we should pool our money and develop a shooting community with an HOA requiring every resident get in range time daily.
No club house, just a range.
"Uhhh, it looks like your range card hasn't been punched in a few weeks. We wouldn't want you to fall into the restricted list! This is just a friendly reminder to get your range time in, and make sure you get your card marked so you get credit for the time!"
I am going to be flying into salt lake this coming weekend and staying for 2 1/2 days.
Any suggestions for hikes, outdoor activities, must sees and eats ?
I am visiting solo to see if salt lake will be a good fit for me and my family.

The company I work for does sale lazy boy. Not lazy boy, although it is one of the biggest.
Pretty sure they have a facility up in box elder county that's why I was asking. Well lots to do here and you will find a nice house for North of 800k.
I have a son in Salt Lake. There are several long distance shooting ranges nearby. He skis and snowboards in the winter and races on a nearby racetrack in the summer, or hikes in the mountains. He told me about a place with a spring and a pool he hiked to, and sat in the pool by himself. He was all relaxed and looked up and saw a mountain lion staring back down at him.

2 hours from downtown for 1000 yards.
Sighting in almost downtown with 100-300 yards.
Public land abounds where one can shoot for free.

A 600 yard range in the canyon - lease expired in 2019 - I just found that out using Google and stumbling across a reddit post about shooting around Salt Lake. Sad to see one go.

I finally made the visit to slc area this past week. Of the places I visited, kaysville is now my top choice of places to live in the slc area. Not far from ogden or slc.

What part? I'm in kaysville edge of Farmington.
I did a couple of hikes from the 27th and 29th trail heads in Ogden. The Bonneville shoreline trail to the Hidden valley trail and Malans peak trail were good workouts.

Cabellas is good but the Scheels 33 miles south in Sandy has better selection for this hobby. My tastes are more expensive than cabela's mostly.
I spent the 1st five years of my life in Torrington, and still have family there. So technically I would just be coming home. But seriously doubt I'd give up Alabama, been here the last 40 years...
I remember a time working in Anchorage, taking a break inside a walk-in freezer to warm up!
Hmmm my 2mile spot is about an hour and some change away from slc.
Kaysville is decent area
If you are going to need to commute, pay attention to real world commute times in choosing a location. Some of them can be downright awful in SLC.
Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming want you to fuck off and stay in the state you fucked up with your shitty leftist voting and fix that state. Thank you.
I actually got you beat... 0-1k in 5 min
45 for anything farther and no other people to bug me
Not me, this is my son who lives in Salt Lake, and I am going off what he told me.
If you have more ranges to share, I bet
WILLSMITH030382
would appreciate it, and I will pass it on to my son, as well.I am in Georgia, which sucks for this sort of thing.
I have 100 yards out my back door, and I can make 200 if I clear a shooting lane for that distance, but that is about it.
400 yards is an hour
600 yards is over two hours, and realistically they never set the metal targets farther than 525 yards.
half mile and beyond is over three hours and not open to the public generally, so, special events only.
I am thinking about taking up rimfire just to have more availability without having to go so far away.
I don't live anywhere near Lehi as about a dozen members on here can attest who know me in real life but keep on guessing
As everyone knows, @Huskydriver lives in beautiful air-conditioned downtown Des Moines, capital of Iowa and the jewel of the tri-county area.
He works an exciting job in insurance for Monsanto and really enjoys walks along the ornate riverfront balustrades that line the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers.
This is his spacious and well-appointed house:
Lol ok this is a obv joke. Des Loins sounds like it sux royal ballsacks. @WILLSMITH030382 you should move there. Six min to a 25yd indoor range lol

3-10 acres lol hard pass
Good ranch land is going for $20k/acre. Problem is you need about 5000+ acres to live on. BIL has 7800 acres and can only raise 2-300 cows without spending stupid money on supplemental feeding.
Those places are all just houses in the mountains, likely on old mining or homestead claims. Good chance the surrounding area there's lots of forest service and BLM where you get harassed by tourists and rangers.
So why don't you want to join the crowd?
Is it that bad in Montana? I have spent a lot of time in the National Forest in Oregon and never even see a tourist or a ranger. I spent seven days hunting for elk sunup to sundown and saw only one other hunter during that entire 7 days. Is Montana that different? The population is less than Oregon.
A lot of people have really unrealistic ideas about how much land costs, raising animals, and how much space they need, not to mention what life is actually like in rural areas. People with 100 acre parcels can have horrible neighbors too, it's not just a city thing.
Yes, as people don't want to get far from roads. Once you get to the Eastern side you'll rarely get harassed, but it's not the mountains.
If you're willing to get 10 miles off a road it gets good. That's just hard to do.
Wow. Coastal Oregon, I just drive up a forest service road a mile or two from the ocean, park, climb up the dirt cliff, and then I am in the woods. I do not see or hear anybody until I decide to come back out.
That cliff will knock out quite a few people.
Montana, especially the Western side, has been advertised as a forest tourist destination for 30 years now. We have rivers that you now need a lottery ticket to try and float once to fish, can't cast a fly rod without hitting the guy next to you, etc. Hiking trails that you'd never see anyone on when I was a kid, you now see people every few hundred yards.
Then you have the hunting shows. My local big elk hot spot has 25 tags a year issued. When I was a kid that was 4-6000 people a year trying to get them. Now that it's been on a hunting show, there were 68000 applicants for the same 25 tags last year.
