Access rules
Who can hunt here
Most of central and northern Ontario is Crown land, and Ontario residents with the right licence and tags can hunt it. Southern Ontario is mostly private: you need the owner's permission. Hunting is allowed in some provincial parks and most conservation reserves; Crown game preserves are closed to hunting. Non-residents have their own licence and Crown land rules. The green land is MNR's unpatented Crown land: it isn't a legal survey, and leases, mining claims and local closures aren't shown.
