Ontario Crown land

[FAST-121]

just a tip for the people just starting to use the crown land map online, i found it helps if you click "Search For Policy Reports" and then select general use are, then skim through and look for the closest area to you, click on the policies to see if hunting activities are allowed, then check the map to see where it is and try and compare it to google maps and bada bing! you now have found some crownland to shoot on.

final step just to cover your ass is to call and make sure there are no bylaws prohibiting shooting in that area.

(just a tip, took me a long time to figure that out! i was always just looking at the map)

Thanks for the tips

Lots of decent reforestration spots just off the beaten path in simcoe and muskoka with nice little signs letting you know shooting is permitted. Once your north of barrie just get off the highway and go for a drive I can think of ten different good spots within a half hour of barrie.

Poster telling of all the forests in simcoe you can shoot at, is wrong in so many ways,
the forests he is most likely referring to do not allow target shooting, only hunting. Read the sign in the above picture.

And muskoka"s discharge bylaw does not allow target shooting (minus clays or skeet)

Why not just join a club, and shoot there if you dont have a spot?

Just a heads up boys... to HUNT and you are only allowed to hunt in simcoe county forests you must be a member of the ofha to use these areas

Does anybody here know of any safe tract of crown land within reasonable driving distance from northern York Region.

Check the Crown Land map. It doesn't even begin until you get up past Barrie. There's no Crown Land left in southern/central Ontario.
