What are the laws concerning shooting from a road in your state?
I don't know the facts about this guy and this buck but sometimes people just get lucky. If I were walking to a stand or driving down an unmaintained road and saw a bruiser standing there looking at me I would shoot too.
Your reasoning is complete bs. It makes no difference what kind of road you are on. It isn't whether it is legal to shot from the road it is an ethical thing. I know I would feel like a master hunter if I done that. And if you didn't have permission you would be tresspassing if it wasn't public land.
When I see a large buck in a feild driving to my stand to hunt I will stop admirer him and hope he makes it my way. But there is no way in hell legal or not I am shooting from the road or just off.
The only except to this would be a disabled person with a release from a DR and appoved my the state allowing him to hunt from his truck. I don't mean it ok if the said person drives around until he sees one to shot. The person should be hunting on ground he has permission to hunt and using his vechile as a stand not driving around the property.
