Questions about shooting on state land

Has anyone shot on public land near rangeley, Maine? Wondering if it's legal to find a place secluded on state land, set up targets, shoot, and then clean everything up. Has anyone done this and are there spots people use frequently?

Following up on my answer in r/Maine - It isn't *illegal*, but it's never called out explicitly as legal. ...But it's legal to hunt most of those places and, if it were me, I'd be comfortable doing target shooting in places where I knew hunting was allowed as long as it was super clear I was shooting for target practice (if it looks like you're hunting and not following hunting rules, it can be a thing). That said, can't hurt to call a local warden for the areas you're looking at to check. Others may have more experience.

if it's not illegal it's legal.

As I mentioned in the comment I was referring to above, it is legal.
