Maybe....that would be a provincial law....
In Sask the rule is no shooting across or along a grid road or highway. Grid roads have numbers assigned, although some are named. The local RM Office will be able to advise if it's a "grid road" or not. If it has an actual provincial or municipal name sign, it's probably considered a road for legal purposes. If it just has a local name (no sign or number) it's probably not. The local RM, MNR or RCMP will know. It may also be a designated game corridor in which additional rules apply, or hunting may be prohibitted due to proximity to active forestry operations
Again, that is a provincial matter and will depend on which province you're referring to. |

| Where are you from hunter1947, this is definitely a provincial jurisdiction issue? In Alberta a logging road is not maintained, nor is it typically named - however any access roads from a highway used to enter a logging road typically do have a name and these roads are definitlely regulated with a minimum safe shooting distance from the road.... but logging roads are a different matter; no real issues other than common sense and keeping within the law (eg. no shooting from a vehicle, etc.) |
