I have a landowner 100yds from my house that has 20 acres and a tree farm. He had a big buck mess up 50 trees last year. I need some documentation that says that bowhunting is legal outside a specified distance from an inhabited dwelling. He says that as long as it's legal I am good to go. I looked through the Hunting and trapping regs and did not see anything specific. Please help.
This will be the perfect place to take my kids early season and harvest a deer together.

P.S. Is anybody else starting to twich and take long stares into every field or is it just me!!!!??????

for bow hunting it is 100 yards from a dwelling and for shotgun it is 300 yards , also for either you can hunt inside those limits if you have written permission from the occupants of the house

Page 9 of the regulations:

Hunting near Inhabited Dwellings

It is unlawful to

hunt within 300 yards of an inhabited

dwelling without first obtaining permission

of the owner or tenant of the dwelling.

EXCEPT

:

and arrow, or hunting with shotgun using

shotshells only, or on licensed game

breeding and hunting preserve areas, on

federally-owned and -managed lands, on

Department-owned, -managed, -leased or

-controlled lands and areas operated

under a Waterfowl Hunting Area permit, a

100-yard restriction shall apply.

Thank you Don.....I missed it!!!!! Too excited about finding a new place to hunt!!!! Now I just need to close the deal on 1 and all this will be worth it. I will keep you posted with results.
