Closest to me is the Cold Mountain Game Lands in Haywood County. Yes, it is the same Cold Mountain as in the book and movie. The four other game lands mentioned are way the hell and gone from me down in the eastern North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular interest about the Cold Mountain Game Lands is the Wayne Smith Shooting Range which is a free and open to the public range. It is also the closest range of its sort to the Asheville area. If you follow the links below, the draft management plan for Cold Mountain discusses the range in detail including potential plans for a 25-yard pistol range and a trap range. Among the concerns are noise mitigation and degradation of the facility from overuse. There is discussion of adding a fee for its use or limiting the amount of time one can stay and shoot at the range.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px;\">\n<strong>Wildlife Commission Invites Public to Comment on Five Game Land Plans<br \/>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-size: 13px;\">\n<strong>RALEIGH, NC&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014&nbsp;&nbsp;After conducting a series of public meetings to gather input on developing management plans for game lands across the state, the N.C.
