In Ontario I have been told my CO's, not that they all say the same thing. That if you can prove that all you are doing is target shooting then you should be fine. If this is in the off season then I would suggest the gun encased and trigger locked, head with your targets and ammo to an area where you want to shoot. Setup the targets then get out your gun and ammo and shoot, walking around the bush and claiming target shooting would not work. Although if it is the summer and there are groundhogs if you have a small game then just say grounghog hunting. This is what I have been told but I think it would be best to call someone to be on the safe side. Another thing, if you have the option of crown close to town or further away take a drive, in southern Ontario the closer you are to people the more chance of problems, not like the north. Did I mention I want to go north, fishing in the summer hunting in the fall then snowmobiles, God I love this country.
