First its Illegal in many states...
Second its dangerous to ride around with a chambered round and guns all over the truck
Third...dont tell me about introducing kids to hunting this way....its unethical and wrong.
Now,,,the otherside....what is asfae and appropriate in wyoming or Montana is not safe and and appropriate in Missouri...so Im not condemming those in areas where it is more in line with terrain and hunting situations. In Missouri, the roadhunters are a mobile poacher...they are deer hunting only in that they want to kill a deer but have no idea who owns ground on either side of the road and will shoot at anything they can see.
I get every lic plate number i can and call every one in I get.
WELL..Thank GOD I LIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA....
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT ITS LIKE HUNTING THERE....
I GUESS GUYS WHO SAYTELL ME HUNTING IN THE STATES IS LIKE BEINGIN THE NEW YORK GRAND CENTRAL STATION MUST BE TRUE.....
THAT MUST SUCK BIG TIME.....[:-]
IN B.C. ITS IS LEGAL BUT THERE IS LOTS OF RESTICTIONS........
SOME EXAMPLES....
UNLAWFUL RESTRICTICTIONS ARE PLACED ON LOADED WEAPONS IN THE VEHICAL..
SHOOTING FROM INSIDE VEHICALS,
MUST BE 1/4 MILE OFF MOST HIGHWAYS..
THERE IS LOOPHOLES..I NOW OF AT LEAST ONE HIGHWAY, WHERE ONE CAN SHOOT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THE CATCH IS YOUR SHOOTING ONTO POSTED/PRIVATE LAND.....HOWEVER YOU GET SPECIAL PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER (SIGN LIABILITY FORMS AND WAIVERS) AND NOBODY CAN STOP YOU...LEGAL YOU BET,ITS UP TO THE HUNTER WITH THE ETHICS
TO MAKE, THATS THEIR CHOICE......
POACHERS DODISOBEY THESE LAWS,BUT THEY WILL DO IT NO MATTER HOW THEY HUNTED......I'VE SEEN ANIMALS SHOT AND LEFT IN THE BUSH
AND LEFT BY HUNTERS WHO WALK,AND I'VE SEEN VEHICALS PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY,AND IN THE DISTANCE SOMEBOBY DRAGGING A DEER TO SOME TREES ON PRIVATE LAND....
I'VE SEEN HUNTERS BOTH ON AND OFF THE ROAD WHO SHOOT WELL BEFORE LIGHT AND WELLINTO THE DARK....
YOU HEAR STORIES WHERE THE ODD TRANSMISSIONS BEEN SHOT OUT AND THE GUY HAS HAD TO EITHER DRIVE OUT IN REVERSE OR WALK.....
NO DIFFERENT THAN SOMEBODY CARRYING A LOADED GUN WHILE WALKING AND SHOOTING A PARTY MEMBER....
BOTH ARE DUMB UNNESSESSARY AND STUPID....
I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION/FEELING THAT YOU'VE WALK ALL THESE MILES ON FOOT,JUST TO FIND OUT YOU PUSHED THE ANIMAL YOU'VE BEEN PURSUING RIGHT TO SOMEONE WHO"S DRIVING,WHO THAN
"LAWFULLY" SHOOTS IT......
HEY ITS HAPPENED TO ME.....WHAT CAN YOU DO BUT CONGRATULATE HIM AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE.......
