Pick up after yourself and leave no trace. No brass, no targets, no shot up trees. 2. Get a copy of the Indiana Atlas. Very detailed as to where boundary lines are and will make it much easier to find a spot. Cross reference with Google earth to see where you can find a small clearing or area suitable for shooting. https://smile.amazon.com/Indiana-At...9&sr=8-1&keywords=indiana+atlas+and+gazetteer

The Vehicle use maps on the HNF page exactly show where good parking spots are and where the boundaries are. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/hoosier/maps-pubs/?cid=fsbdev3_017520 Also NO NO NO Shooting in the Deem wilderness. Best to avoid some of the major hunting seasons too. Walking around in the woods with a 223 during deer season may be a tough explanation to a game warden. But you mileage may vary.
