Hunting out of truck?

[indi]

If that is true, it must be posted in the title 800 regulations.
please post the applicable regs.
The ODW reg number is staffed by who ever answers the phone.
They do not have legal interpretation of the laws, only opinions.

Man I don’t know the reg number, wish I would of asked. I called Dept headquarters @ (405) 521-2739, the lady who answered the phone was not sure of the answer and told me she would transfer me to legal/ law Dept or law division and then I spoke with another lady there.

My experiences with the ODW is people that answer the phone don't know sheet...

.i.e.... Lexington WMA range opening. She told me they were open a few months ago and I called the game ranger and he said another month. Glad I didn't drive 40 miles out there. I will always call the ranger after that.YMMV

I know first hand about the call in to the odw for legal issues. DO NOT take their advice as the actual law. A retired GW that was injured and spent time manning that phone during recovery at times told me there was a FAQ page they read from if not an actual GW.
Refer to the title 800 for actual proof of the state statutes and how they are written.

The real question isn’t if it legal; the question is , is that hunting? Hell no

I have to agree somewhat.
But how far back in hunting heritage do we need to go to make it "real hunting"
I'll await your answer.

Good lord! (Rant on)

But if I set up a ground blind or even set on a 5 gallon bucket in the exact same spot somehow that makes it "hunting"

How about if i set in front of the truck in a camping chair? "Real hunting" then??? No. Ok I pull up 10 yards from an elevated stand get in it and hunt? Hunting then? At what distance from my truck do I need to be so I am a Sportsman? Freggin ridiculous!

Just because you don't do it doesn't mean it's not hunting. I am so sick of people's personal ethics telling others what hunting is and what hunting isn't.

Rant off.

 

[kwaynem]

I’m going to agree with elkstar it’s no different than a blind in my opinion

 

[milsurp2.0]

The wording used to be if the vehicle has been turned off for 30 minutes it could legally be uses as a blind.

Agree. Some of these blinds now days are no different than shooting out of your house window.
