Maui's range closed for 1 1/2 months due to endangered Nene goose nesting.  Good thing our Koko Head Chickens aren't endangered.  I shot at Kbay once and the range doesn't seem bothered by flocks of endangered birds nesting in the middle of the range there.

WAILUKU >> Maui's only public rifle range is temporarily closing after an endangered goose was spotted wandering around the property.
A biologist also found a nene nest in the area.
Maui County said Wednesday a firearms instructor noticed a goose on Sunday and notified the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The department is recommending the county close the Ukumehame range while the goose lays eggs.
Biologists say it will be about a month and a half before the eggs hatch and the nene are mobile enough to be relocated or leave on their own.
The county says the rifle range can reopen once that happens.
The Ukumehame range is used by law enforcement agencies and the National Guard. It's the only legal public range on Maui.

Tomorrow is an open day for maui. And from what i was told that they will try to still have an open day. But the shooters will be moved over to the pistol side of the range. But due to space being limited they will only allow a certain amount of people at a time. And that group will have a set time to shoot and once they are done they will rotate the next group in to try to accommodate everyone with some shooting time.
