Hey guys was out checking the trail cams the other day and came across some new fence and some signs saying no tresspassing by order of MND. Only thing I can think of is National defense as it is right by Shilo. Looking at the map, it doesnt' appear to be the actual range but part of spruce woods/crown land. At least my cams were outside the area. Got a few pics, camera was a little off so they are not the best. Saw lots of sign though. Also managed to pick up a nice ruffie so all in all a good day.

Maybe Andre can help here? I'm not sure either.

MND = Minister of National Defence. Spruce Woods Provincial Forest is in fact part of Shilo. It appears you were indeed getting close to the Shilo Range. I don't know exactly where you were, but CFB Shilo's boundary is basically is the Assinaboine River to the south, #5 Highway to the East, #340 to the west and the tracks south of #1 to the North. This is not the exact boundary but a general idea and a map from CFB should be looked at. It should be noted that boundaries can change.

Also, some nice looking bucks there. Good luck on tagging one of them.

My map is a year or 2 old so I will have to update I guess. By my map there are about 2 sections of crown around shilo in the area I was in. If they have moved the boundry that far it eliminates a lot of area that was available for hunting. Not sure if you can still get permission from them to hunt shilo anymore, will have to look into that.

Hunting is no longer permitted on the Shilo ranges. I still havnt been able to get a straight answer as to why though. Without giving away your "secret spot" we're you south or north of the base?

 

[tpb]

The area is north of the base, around the Camp Hughes cemetary.

I don't know that Shilo/Spruce Woods area very well. As always please contact the NROs nearest to the area(s)for the correct answer. In this case the Carberry NROs will answer your question.
