Looking for Info

Well it would be the other hunters who then are being disrespectful.

What if I found your spot where you were baiting and knew you show up at 7 so I go there at 6, that would be very disrespectful.

Unlike Southern Ontario there is lot's of crown and public forests in the Eastern Ontario. If you find a spot that is actively being used is it so hard to move on and look someplace else? This is why I don't tell anyone about all the hidden areas of crown that I know about. Now I am even more committed to not telling anyone.

Very few people will ever find these areas, either.

Well,your "friend" could still hunt the area and blow it up for everyone else OR your "friend" could simply consider it as an "oopsy" and learning experience and move to another spot. Such is the result of hunting public land.

Here is a pic of the area. As you can see they are laying claim to a good sizedAttachment 40997 portion of the forest
These signs all went up in the last week.

I was just hoping that someone knew a member and I could talk to them. Nothing more intrusive than that.

And just so you know GreatWhite I have a great deal of respect for other hunters.

There could be 20 people in that group for all you know.

I still see that your are the one being unreasonable.

I guess I come from a different time when hunters respected where others were hunting.

Like I said this is exactly why I will not tell others of the crown I know of.

That's not how I see it. But I am just one person. I would move on. But I guess I come from a different time.

If those signs went up in the last week, then they were to replace signs that were there before. I found signs in some of those locations years ago. The area at the top of your picture, where the big field converges into sort of an upsidedown V - the Ottawa GIS site indicates there is a parcel of private land where the trail passes through. Most of the rest of the area in your picture is public land.

Well your view ( as you see it ) is skewed. Let me guess... you are from a different time.

Ok - So the city of Ottawa had a Marlborough Forrest Management which expired in 2010, within this document it listed all the authorized leases contained within. I will list them below. I have not been able to find a new plan, despite writing to COO and have never gotten a response to the subject. I have asked for current copies of active, old and new leasing since 2010.

It has been my experience and you will see by the list below only 3 Concession and Lots , are the only authorized hunt camps that I can find.

Further to this, if you use https://maps.ottawa.ca/geoottawa/, you can turn on and off layers to identify private property parcels on the edges of MB, and only 1 parcel inside the MB is private property.

It is also been my experience that all "SIGNED" private (except said approved leases), are in fact not private property, however - I have to premise that with I cannot locate anymore current info, and city is not answering questions, or providing documents to prove/disprove.

What I have experienced, armed with all info, I have confronted all the claimers of private property and proved them wrong, asked them to call the police, have called the police myself, have called/Emailed MNR (with no results) to fix the problem or ask them to remove signage.

Probably guys who have been there for a long time and don't want anyone in there. Its most likely not their land if there are no trespassing signs on it. As a guy said above it'll prob be better to move on and look for another spot. It's not worth the time or arguments with guys like that. They think because they've been hunting there for so long its their forest which is not true at all. If you didn't buy the land or lease it youre not entitled to say who can hunt on it.

If you do end up going in there and they give you problems just call a CO. Its not worth the BS tho so I would move on.
