Knock on a door and ask.Most people are happy to help or atleast will tell you.
I know at the University of Saskatchewan there are RM maps for the entire province. Some are slightly dated. Some are also available online from the RM. They all have crown land in a different colour. Try getting your hands on some for BC.
Keep us posted.
This has always intrigued me as well.
Should I or shouldn't I.
And then the no hunting no trespassing signs.
How many of them are just put up with no legal grounds
to them.
And can they block access to the right to use the road
even if you don't plan to hunt on that strip.
Another peeve of mine is the extend of the deactivation of some of
the roads south of me.
Pizzes me off they have deactivated to the point where it's tough
for even a quad or utv to get through.
Big boulders spaced tight.
I called this blocked, not deactivated.
What can be done with this?
Cheers.
You really have to do your homework on these issues. In Manitoba, a good start is getting the latest ownership map from the relevant municipality. Also ask about road allowances, if relevant.
Yer in BC like your profile says?
iMapBC is where you need to start.
Gonna take some dicking about with the 'layers' settings to find the details you want, but it's all there.

In Ontario you can get MNR maps of Crown land and also go to the Land Registry Office to look up the owners of certain parcels of land specifically.
Gives you contact info should they be land and not dwellings.
Might be same in BC

If there are fences around, then there are bound to be someone around. It would be much easier to ask the neighboring people then to go to the office. Sometimes I even had neighbors volunteer to drive their own car with us following him to the owner's house.

Knock on doors, if there are some around the landowners usually like them gone. People appreciate that you show your face, can lead to some really good areas too!

Y'know, the very best thing you could do is to start knocking on doors for a day or two.
Do it on a "non-hunting" day, when you are not dressed up and ready to go shooting.
Have some maps in hand, so you can sort out the details of boundaries. Be prepared to deal with some rejections, with a bit of polite grace. It IS their land, after all.
But a day or two of social networking will get you all sorts of contacts. Ask if they have neighbours with a few too many coyotes as well, and follow up on those contacts too.
I've cold called on farmhouses at breakfast time and had pretty good success rates there, out in Southern SK. But I had best results when I dropped by ahead of time and made my arrangements.
Gonna have to do some legwork to get yourself set up. Might be a good idea to have some business type cards with your contact info on them, too. A notebook or date book that you can keep their contact info in, as well, is a good idea. Works way better than stammering about 'someone' gave permission, when someone else asks you why you are trespassing, eh?

Knocking on doors works great.....when someone is home.
Another time knocking on a door, I was told "no" to hunting on land. Later I learned the land did not even belong to the guy who answered the door.
So use a landowners map, and then knock on the door and ask for the name of the person from the map, and then ask permission...and hopefully they'll be home.

That's because you should've asked who owns the and first instead of if you can hunt on it.
