Hunting from, to, or across a road is illegal, of course, as it should be. But there are roads and then there are roads:
-Interstate Highways
-State Highways
-Municipal streets
-County-maintained streets
-Non-county-maintained residential streets & backroads, such as roads not behind locked gates but way back, rarely traveled, and only going to the land of 2-5 landowners, let's say.
-4-wheeler "roads" & other trails on public land
-Roads on private property behind locked gates, where various lessess have keys to the locks and come and go regularly (for timber and other mining, and hunting)
-4-wheeler "roads" & other trails on private land
Etc.
The bolded ones are the ones I'm scratching my head on, primarily. The italicized one would be acceptable, I'm pretty sure.
And among those, other factors:
Paved/Gravel/Dirt
Houses within a certain distances vs. not
How frequently used?
Etc.
When is it legal? When is it moral/ethical/wise to shoot from, to, or across? What's the definition of road? Or is it vague/undefined? Anyone live in a state where the regs actually bother to specifically define the word "road"?
Thanks.
