I can't address directly the OP's question as i do not live near Lumby.
Here in the lower mainland i go to a remote road east of Mission..Sylvester road (AKA Little Beirut). IMO where the problem arises is when people are lazy, shooting too close to peoples property, without proper backstops, and leave behind litter.
Sylvester road previously had one place people shot. Now, i believe in a effort to discourage people to shoot there, the road has been allowed to become very poor. The result is that instead of one area carpeted by shotgun hulls, brass, targets, shattered clays....it is in every side road, wide place, gravel pit. Adults acting like children.
If it is in some remote area, with a good backstop, and one was to make a effort to take litter away ...it is unlikely anyone will complain or even know. Should someone stop by while you are shooting a little politeness, pal, and a valid hunting license should be all one needs.

Non Restricted guns only, valid PAL and knowledge that the are is not closed to discharge of firearms and possibly shotgun only or no single projectile. Other than that your fine, oh one more thing common sense and good house keeping happy shooting

I live on three forks road up 33, there's a gravel pit up a little ways turning onto fool hen road at the bridge that is close and not too bad.
areas around here are becoming bad withsome bad apple shooters leaving behind garbage and begining to shoot in less than ideal spots
otherwise i belive there are a couple spot in the bx area of vernon and up around the bardolph lake fsr in lavington.
there is lots of private range land in the lumby area try to make sure you are not tresspassing

Went up to the Aberdeen plateau. 4x4 almost got stuck at the 4 km marker. Found an area where others were blasting targets. Shot off 75 rounds in the ol mossberg. That area is epic up there. Can't wait to go back and explore around some more. Thanks for the tips!
