A 300 yard barrier in East Central Indiana would delegate most all ground unhuntable. Are area is broken up in square mile sections with a house or 2 on each road surround the section. Now given that you have to be 300 yards from the residence which is 25-50 yards off the road, you would have to be almost 400 yards off the road. Not a problem until you are 400 yards off of every road, that leaves you a small 800 yardX800 yard section to hunt smack dab in the very center of that square mile. Hope you are lucky to find the handful of spots that will allow you a good stand set up. I know all the areas I hunt, those areas are in the middle of corn and bean stubble

South Dakota has (I believe) a 600 foot distance away from dwellings or livestock when you are road hunting small game and turkeys. Nothing else can be hunted from the road. If you are on your own land you can hunt right next to a house even if it isn't yours. There is a wildlife habitat that the state runs right across the road from my grandpas. His cattle feedlot goes right up to the ditch and people are always hunting across the road in the habitat. There is nothing he can do because technically they aren't doing anything wrong. It sucks because they scare his cattle quite a bit after they ween them.
