I believe so and I don't know.
The thing about signing is that it is how they figure out out how many visitors frequent that management area annually which reflects how much funding they get for the following year.

I went there for the first time last weekend and love it. Leaps and bounds better than Tallow Creek. Like Sound said, the range officers were very thorough and safe, yet friendly and great to work with. If it's your first time out, let them know and they'll spend time with you explaining the range, rules, etc.
And yes, have your weapons unloaded, cased and actions open when entering.
It was pretty damn crowded last Sunday, but we still got into a rifle lane within 30 minutes. One of the regulars said Friday is the day to go if possible. No more than 3 or 4 people in the whole place.

Go on Fridays if you can. I've been able to stop shooting, head out to the 50yd line, do a few coffee grinders and a little shuffle-ball-change, proceed to the 100yd line for a target change, pause, look up to the sky for an answer to the question why, and saunter back to the bench while scanning for 4 leaf clovers.
Nary-a-soul. Range was hot or cold at my will. And, yes, the range officers aren't jumpy, nerve-frayed, PTSS grumps. All I've meet and dealt with were very personable.

I bet no one on this site has ever been asked for their hunting/fishing license. The range officer WILL NOT ask you. It's not their rule. Take a look at the "State Requires" part:

I bet you can still purchase the WMA stamp at $5 or whatever it is. That is all you need in order to go to the range. The range officers will never ask, but if you use the range, it is only a matter of time before you run into a Game Warden out there that will check that you have it.
I might be up for that. Depends on how fast I can finish work. I want to sight in my 6.8 BUIS. Send me a PM if you want to meet up. I may have a free pass.
Out of state people can get a Wild LA Stamp for $5.50. That is cheapest way to go. If you already have a LA fishing or hunting Lic. then there is no need.
But a game warden will. I got popped a few years back on a WMA w/o a wma permit and ANY offense on a WMA is a mandatory court date btw.
If it were me I wouldn't risk it.
