Hello, I have two questions. I just bought a Type 81. It shoots the 7.62x39 round. I know it is too big to hunt with in SW Ontario.

1) Can I go to crown land and shoot targets with it in SW Ontario without getting in trouble? All the ranges are closed to non members right now.

2) Can anyone recommend a spot within a few hours drive of SW Ontario that is secluded, wide open and I'm not going to disturb any turkey hunters? I'm looking to try it out for a couple of hundred yards. If you feel more comfortable you can pm me.

Thanks in advance!

Say what? Any centrefire cartridge is good to go in Ontario, for deer anyway.

Much of southern Ontario is shotgun and now only because of population density. There are a few spots where you can hunt with a rifle though.

Check the hunting regs.

Oh, that's what you meant. That's not really the same as 7.62 being too big, but I gotcha. I'm out east, rifles are good to go out here.
