Durham Region hunting land?

Hi,
I’m a resident of Durham Region, Ontario, and I have a class H1 hunting version outdoors card, and all the licensing stuff, blah blah blah… Anyway, I’m sure you know that one of the hardest thing to do to hunt in Ontario is to just simply find land to hunt on. So, I thought I would put a post out on the forum. If anyone knows of any crown land in or near Durham Region please let me know. Also, if you know of any privately owned land — perhaps farms — that are happy to allow hunting on their property, please let me know. Anywhere within a two to three hour radius would be great.
Thanks,
Brandon

Two to three hours of Durham will have you into Parry Sound, Muskoka, Minden, Bancroft which have thousands of acres of crown land.

Be warned though, its not bush lots, but "big bush" country. You can easily get lost. Bring a GPS and compass, and your cell may not work in the back country.

Check out MNRFs Crown Land Atlas for some maps.

Thanks for the input

Have you searched up "Durham hunting land" on google yet. I usually get good luck searching the county/area- hunting land

Hi
There is the Nonquon Forest west of Seagrave north of Port Perry 1200 acres of crown land (no firearms on Sundays) just crossbows and compound bows on Sundays)and The Ganaraska Forest east of 35 115 which requires a yearly membership with 12,000 acres (no firearms on Sundays in the West and South Forests) just crossbows and compound bows on Sundays. I believe they are WMA 73 to check for seasons for what you want to hunt. No Sunday firearms is a municipal bylaw strictly enforced by the local MNR officer as the residents have their fingers on their dialers should they hear any gunfire.

ganaraska forest the website has the details of which parts are hunt able just off the 115/35

I would also suggest that you go out to farm country and start knocking on doors looking for places to hunt.

Try and contact the Beasely Brothers from CITR I m sure they wouldn't mind sharing some of their properties and farms in Durham with you .;)

This is the closest area,but,also,probably the worst. Yearly membership fees range from $30 for a day pass to yearly membership fees of $175 for all inclusive activities. Unfortunately,it's nothing but a big motorcross dirtbike track. It's great for ATV use from May to December and snowmobiling during the winter months,but,as for game animals,there's not much in there. www.grca.on.ca

Bet you would be welcome on a lot of farms if you hunted 'yotes. Try going to the CO-OP in Orono or some other feed store and ask if they know of any farmers that need help with predator control. Could lead to a treestand for deer season :thumbup:
