Ontario Crown land

[Baxtercharlie]

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

Poke around the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources website, in the mapping tabs. I found a downloadable .pdf mapsheet with all the registered Crown Lands. Once you find something that looks good, buy the 1:15000 scale maps to really read the land. They have a goofy naming system, but the sheets I ordered had much better detail than any 1:50000 scale sheets from NRCan.

Thanks maple_leaf, good safe spots to shoot?

And you are going to shoot on Crown Land ... ?

Seems not a bright idea, some people have tried it before - Biggs

Whats wrong with target shooting on crown land?

[rc_p120]

Other than the common sense things (good back stop, firing line, no nearby homes/roads/neighbourhoods, etc) what are other considerations? Should one ALWAYS have to call the nearest police station? Are there common bylaws for allowing shooting or will every piece of crown land be totally different?

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)
