Where to shoot in Ontario?

[phat matt]

Hey, I've recently inherited two shotguns from my grandfather. I'm completely new to shooting sports and from what I understand I can legally use them on crown land, but my issue is I have no idea where crown land is in my area (Simcoe/Muskoka). If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!

This is a map that will tell you all the crown land and it's use policy.

I will probably get attacked for this for some reason... HOWEVER, I assume you have your PAL?

If the map says it's crown land, and hunting is permitted, can you set up some targets and shoot off some rounds?

Are there any caveats like needing a hunting license/permit, or can you just check the map, go deep, and shoot?

Im wondering the same thing as well. Orillia gun club is full, and from what I've heard, not the greatest. Is this an option to get out and get some rounds down range?

Yes you can shoot on crown land and you don’t need a hunting licence unless you’re hunting. Just make sure you have a good back stop.

Perfect, now to familiarize myself with crown land nearby .

Are there any other sources other than the listed link above for finding available hunting/shooting grounds (specifically in the Orillia/Muskoka region)

So, what type of shotguns were they?

Rock Cut or Eagle Lake both solid shooting clubs
