To go shoot in the forest, you need to go up to Cheqauauamogen and Nicolet forests.. Those are fed land.

While it is legal, they are very strict about "littering". Leave nothing behind, and I do mean NOTHING! No targets - nor fragments thereof - nor shell casings. Years ago, when I asked about the legality of target shooting on the forest, I was even directed to several spots that have safe backdrops... but was told in no uncertain terms about their littering policy.
I know of several impromptu "ranges" in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, but none are long range (50-60yds at most). Don't know if it's legal or not, but I do know it's ongoing, and don't know of anyone who has been cited. But these forests are huge, and where the target shooting is taking place isn't anywhere near any hiking trails or camp grounds etc. One is in an abandoned gravel pit, another is on land that used to belong to Wisconsin Valley Improvement and was recently sold to the state (now part of NHAL State Forest).
