In addition to a complete ban on target shooting in the monument, off-highway vehicle use will be significantly restricted, with about 600,000 acres closed to OHV use and another 483,000 acres where OHV use will be limited.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #bearsears #bearsearsnationalmonument #nationalmonument #outdoors #nature #publicland #utah #publiclands #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Bob Wick / mypubliclands⁠ Story by: aemckean
