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.
If I saw a big buck from the road on state property or land I had permission to hunt on, you better believe Im gonna get out and try a shot from OFF the road. If that deer wants to just stand there, its his fault. Its perfectly legal if youre off the road and its land that youre allowed to hunt here in Indiana. Its illegal to shoot from a road. Thats how the DNR gets people with their decoys. They cant get them for poaching simply because their decoys arent real. All they can get them for is shooting from the road. If you have the opportunity to take a huge buck LEGALLY, why not do it? I would.
