During the harshest part of winter, there is little food for elk to eat, which creates enough stress to threaten their survival as they live off of fat stores. To prevent further stress caused by the sound of gunfire, the shooting range will have limited hours through April 15, depending on conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The reduced operating hours, effective Saturday, March 30, will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., daily until further notice. The normal hours for the range are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. from April to October, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. from November to March.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/summit-county-shooting-range-temporarily-cuts-hours-to-prevent-elk-disturbance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman engages in trap shooting at the Summit County Shooting Range, June 2015.
