Dan,
Let me re phrase that. I have been dog hunting most of my life and that has hurt in my skills of finding deer in the woods to where I could put up a stand and bow hunt them. I have only started this bow hunting thing and that is making my stalking skills better now. Yes it is legal to shoot across a road as long as you are on private or leased land. Down here what sometimes happens is that you lease logging companys land and they cut the land into blocks by roads then plant pine in rows in the blocks. the blocks are usally a couple of hundred acres a piece. you get standers to stand on the road around the block. All standers must stand on side of the road that the drive is on. as the deer crosses the road you wait till it gets on the other side then you shoot if you have a shot. sorry about the mix up.
