As the guide says its just a summary if you want accurate information have to look deeper. Good lesson though for both private and/or public hunting areas it is the responsible hunter that first invest time in thoroughly researching the intended area to hunt including boots on the ground prior to hunting. Just showing up to hunt really is not the way to go.Quote:

Honestly I doubt it refers to the Island Lake Conservation Area. That's a conservation authority property, and the listed WMA's are all provincially-owned places. Sure, some conservation authorities allow hunting on some of their properties, but those aren't given a special listing in the hunting regs.
What you are saying makes sense but if you look at the Map in the regs the #9 pin is placed in the exact location of Island Lake:Quote:

First off, I'm not a young lad, started hunting about 6 years ago but have been in archery for over 20 years. I've hunted on public, draw/paid land before and it was somewhat of a joke. Found a hobby farmer who was gracious enough for me to hunt on his private land, it was the perfect setup and I helped him with chores around his property as a form of thank you. Unfortunately, after 3 seasons, he has sold his land to commercial development, a good thing never lasts I always say. So now I'm back to finding public land to bow hunt on.
The internet is a Godsend, it does take a lot of leg work out of the picture but it's not as easy as it seems, even if you find a spot, you still have to go out and scope the land, there is still leg work to be done. For the person (you know who) that said do what we use to do and go out and find a place to hunt. I really really absolutely hate that mentality. Do you use power tools? why, use a manual hand drill like we use to in the old days, it worked and makes you a more macho man. LOL Hey how about this, churn your own butter, eat with your hands like the cavemen did, walk and don't drive, I can go on forever. Spare me the "macho man we use to" BS. Join us in the 21st century, we have tools to help us do things that much better, why not embrace it.
Ok, I've vented. Great thread btw. :)

Scradley, you are allowed to hunt at the Elderslie Management Forest. That is the only public hunting area I know of around you. There isn't any crown land that far south. All the land is owned privately, by a municipality or by a conservation authority. Good luck.
Thank you for the information

Thought I should bump this link to top for all new hunters in Ontario.
Bringing back into the conversation. As this info is dated, please do your due diligence to validate all the links and regulations that might have changed since 2013.
After a fresh re-read, it is quite comical some of the posts.
