Where do you find who owns what?

Hey all, I am new to shooting and am looking for nearby places outside of my town for shooting.

I am in New Brunswick. Besides walking onto some random land and trying to find the owner, how would you know who owns what?

There's a quarry/gravel pit outside of town maybe a km from the highway, surrounded by woods with 1 gravel road in and out. I've gone there in person and can't find anything. No buildings nearby, not much for machinery on-site. Google maps shows no businesses there or nearby.

Before just "going innawoods" and target shooting, what exactly is the process/technique for finding out if you can even shoot there in the first place? Seems it is private land of some sort but there's no signs and nobody around.

Should I just go there and do my thing and if nobody bothers me then good, if somebody comes to yell at me I just apologize and leave?
 
Call the county, or check on the county website. They can either give you a map or provide an interactive map online. Remember, half the battle is getting a name, the other half is getting their phone number, good luck.
 
Don't forget, in nb you have to have a "sight in permit" or hunting license to have any gun in the bush.

If you're from BC, like I am, I find it mind boggling how hard it is to just go and do what you want in the bush without breaking any laws in NB
 
Yes I'll be taking the hunting course soon, simply to get a varmint permit. Maybe I'll learn something from the course too.

Where is it you live, in NB?

Around my part of NB there isn't much for crown land, there's like the odd peat bog here and there that's crown land but it'll have a company renting it from the government to harvest moss.

That's the other question, there is a ridiculous amount of forest around but the crown land maps I find online just have no classification for it. There's no way somebody owns a bit of forest 20 minutes out in the middle of nowhere, no roads no nothing. I wonder if they don't display crown land they are renting out to Irving or something.
 
Must be a app for that? In bc there's I-Hunter, shows what's private or crown land. Also gives enough info to go the the government office and do a more indepth search if you want to contact the owner.

Your in NB, there is no just going innawoods to shoot.

You have to buy a sight in permit or have a valid hunting license for somthing in season
