No more dangerous than shooting from a stand? Really? Ok whatever you say. Then why is it illegal?
Like I said I personally don't care if its a coyote or a deer, it's still illegal and you are still breaking the law.
Because his "legless brother" has a permit to shoot from a vehicle with a disability permit. Similar to the the friend I helped with the same permit in an earlier post.
Love the humor!
There is no regulation about how far you have to be away from a vehicle to shoot game.
How ever, there is a regulation about harassing game with a motorized vehicle among others.
You can't be driving down the road, slam to a stop, and take a step out to shoot a deer or anything else. Basically that would fall under the "shooting from a road" reg.
Run into the ditch on land you have permission to hunt on, I'd fight it.
Just to play the advocate here....
I don't condone road hunting or like guys who just park and sit in the truck, but what makes shooting from a truck dangerous? Driving down the road flinging lead at everything ya, but sitting in a truck as opposed to a stand???
That being said, we high racked in mexico (legal just like in Texas). I shot javelina from the rack of a truck and it really wasn't any different that a tower stand.
I totally understand hunting from a high rack in Texas. It's legal there on private property. But we are talking about shooting from a public road here in Oklahoma.
Dennis I also understand about the non ambulatory permits, but I'm concerned about the guys shooting from a county road at a coyote, deer or whatever.
Put your mind at ease okhunter. I don't shoot anything from the road. This discussion has kind of taken a left turn. But for the life of me I can't see how my brother is any more dangerous to shoot from his truck when it is parked right beneath my damn deer stand.
It is legal to shoot a deer from your vehicle, on a road, that is on your property. Not a county road though. If you want to turn your vehicle in to your deer blind, then that is fine. As long as it is on your own property.
There are not many situations or scenarios where shooting from a county right of way would be safe. 99% of shots that are made from the road are split second decisions that are not analyzed much at all. Safety is not taken in to as much consideration as it should be because the shot generally has to be made "right now"

i do'nt think you can legaly hunt from your vehicle on your own land.it is against the law to use a motorized vehicle in the aid of hunting deer unless i am the one wrong all these years ???
It is the same as shooting from a boat. As long as the motor is off and it is stationary. It is perfectly legal. So long as it is on your own property/private property and not in a right of way.
