Can I legally shoot in the woods?

[thesammythecurse]

I figured I would see if anyone knew.

Say I am outside of city limits, on a land I cannot identify as being owned by anyone. No homes or roads for a mile at least, and I have a solid backstop behind my targets. Can I shoot there? And if an officer did find me out there, would I be in serious trouble?

I have found ammo boxes back here, so I guess other people have done the same, and would love to shoot without any fear of repercussion and for free.

Find out who owns the land and ask permission.

you can check for the owner at the courthouse and ask.

^^This.
Go to The county and look up the parcel by address to see who pays the taxes. Then let me know, b/c I need somewhere to go too..

This, the land will belong to someone. You cannot enter onto another's property, without their permission. You also, cannot shoot firearms on the property of another (without having that legal permission in writing on you, if the lawful owner is not with you). Doing it and not getting caught is a different story.

Google the county tax assessor and you can search by the road or map and you can find out who owns it.

Google GIS Georgia parcel data. Look up maps and find out who owns it.

Join a gun club. Do NOT shoot on property that you don't pay taxes on.
