cutting shooting lanes on public property
 
I will be hunting a fish and wildlife area in Indiana

Is it OK to cut small limbs and sabling for shooting lanes. or is that a no no

The main thing you need to worry about in that territory is moving firewood. That's the no, no. Something about transporting ash bores.

Ask the site manager for where you are hunting.

Hey bigtim6656 you can probably find the answer to your question here.

http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3199.htm

Maybe there is someone there you can contact? I took a peek and couldn't find anything. Pretty cool website though.

I think you'll probably find that's a no no. If you want to clip a couple small limbs or something fine, but as far as cutting shooting lanes, that sounds like you're going to clear cut and that's a no no.

What FWA are you hunting?. I hunt at Minniehaha a lot. Saw a lot of good sign this past weekend.

As with all regulations, it will vary state to state.

In NYS it is not allowed.
