Shooting Crown Land Question

I have 2 crown land related questions:

  1. Does anyone know a good spot not too far from Simcoe County Ontario where someone can legally shoot on crown land? I had a spot my buddy showed me near Coldwater and Port Severn, where we had these dirt mounds and dirt roads by some running water, but he's concerned that we're going to run into issues because we're semi-close to nearby electrical towers.

  2. This brings me to my second question - Are there any limitations or prohibitions on shooting near electrical towers/power lines? We're a good few hundred feet from them, separated by an open field and some dirt mounts, but they are visible in the distance. Is this going to be a problem?

Thanks!

You are fine. I literally shoot standing under power lines to targets on the other side. Just don't shoot the tower or the line. Don't forget to check the local municipality bylaws.

My concern isn't so much being near the lines, but being on land owned by Hydro One who doesn't allow shooting at all.
