No.  It should be legal because it's another means for people to provide food for their family.\n\nWhere I disagree with it is when people just hunt for the thrill of the kill and for a trophy.  That shows a disrespect for life.

I do not really know, but I can give you a guess. UP of Michigan. The land up there can not be used for farming. It has a rather short period of warm weather and is of use mainly as a place to hunt deer so it should be fairly inexpensive as long as it does not border Lake Superior. But I don't know, deer hunters are a rather dedicated breed. They might be willing to pay a lot for a couple of acres to put up a deer stand.

the penalties can range form a small fine to time in jail.  i have had the warden stop me before and one of our guys got a hundred and fifty dollar fine.  plus to be sure look at your local hunting laws and regulations for wht penalties you are subjected for each type of game you are hunting

Many states have strict laws against hunting with your vehicle.  It gives the hunter an unfair advantage and usually creates more problems.  Most of the time there will be damage to private property (driving through someones fields)  I know in Alaska when someone hits a moose (trust me, NOBODY would do this on purpose!) the state troopers call local churches and charities to see if they want the carcass.  If there is not a non-profit to take the animal, they call private citizens who have placed themselves on a waiting list to get "roadkill".  Many people will not take a road killed animal because of the chance of the stomach and intestines having burst.  If the stomach or intestines(well, almost any internal organ) burst, they spill toxic chemicals like bile and stomach acids into the meat, spoiling it for consumption.  Many people feel real hunters don't need to use something as large as a car or truck.

I live rurally too, and my sibling owns a ranch -- and yes, there are those who have the Hunting/Fishing Licenses (or not -- which is the majority of cases) who think they can walk or enter any property and do what they want to do -- which is why we have Security Systems on the buildings and at the entries.\n\nDO call the police -- and DO take down any license plates of vehicles parked on or near your property when you see them that you have NOT invited onto your land.\n\nDO Call the Fish/Wildlife Service as well -- I do keep a camera in my vehicle and on me at all times, and take photos of the trespasser, and call them with the information -- because Fish/Wildlife is the one department responsible for issuing the game permits.  That way, you can rest assured that they will be looking at the permit process for that trespassing individual(s), and that their permits can be denied, pulled, and they can be subject to heavy fines for entering private property.

Your best bet is to get to know some landowners who aren't adverse to allowing a few select people to hunt their property.  Second best is to join a private hunting club - yes, they do exist and no, I'm not talking foxhunting, lol.   Prolly the worst is to hunt state land, of which there ain't much left in New York.  In the Southern Tier of the state, Connecticut Hill is very popular, and so is Sapsucker Woods - but you gotta get permission for Sapsucker Woods, and that's very hard.  Pick up a copy of the state fishing and hunting regs for clues as to where else in the state you can try your luck.  All of my hunting buddys hunt privately-owned land (with permission).  Come deer season, I'd prefer going back out West - New Mexico, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, Washington - at least I can find someplace to hunt on state or federal lands where there aren't other hunters peering over my shoulder every step I take like they are here in New York!

If your talking about chumming, yes it is legal but only for non-game fish ( Catfish, Nile perch, Bow-fin etc. ) the taking of game fish ( Bass, Bluegill, Bream, Sunshine Bass, etc ) is forbidden and you can be heavily fined and your vehicle can also be confiscated if you're caught with game fish.

fox hunting or hunting with dogs, has been banned..... but taking the dogs out for a run is still legal, whether it be drag hunting or whatever. The loopholes seem to be : if the dogs, while out on a drag hunt, should happen to pick up the scent of a fox and follow it, then the hunt can`t be stopped.

Yes it is perfectly legal to hunt from a ground blind in PA. A quote from the PA Game Commissioin web site says:\n\n"Blinds: Blinds can be used for big game (see turkey section for specifics for blinds used while turkey hunting), however, the required amount of fluorescent orange must be worn while in the blind. Although, not required, it is recommended that some fluorescent orange be displayed outside the blind."

I have personally missed deer and the very next day taken one from the same stand. You might mess up your chances for the day but you won't have any long term effects caused by a miss!! Good Hunting!

There is no way it's a sport.\nWith a properly calibrated rifle, I could choose a spot wait less than six hours and kill a large mammal at 800m. Almost everytime. Fact.\nThe only skills I have are a lifetime of observing nature and a couple of shots at beercans with a .22 rifle.\nTo compare this with what nature photographers do is ignorant. Photographers not only have to get the light and background right, but they have to get perfect focus. They also are more interested in behaviour, and will spend years getting detailed knowledge of their subject in order to observe a particular behaviour.\nIt would be much more sporting to supply these b*stards with fake ammunition. Let's see them in real combat, with both parties just as surprised and unarmed. I have a feeling we would start to hear about hunters being killed after being savaged by a muskrat.\n\n(edit)\nAs usual, those holding ignorant views, base their arguments on fantasy land. Jumping at the first criticism.\nHunting for food is OK, provided the animals are naturally managed (farmed). Like pheasant and deer are in certain areas. Killing for pleasure is never acceptable and totally SICK. Just ask any native hunters. They hate what you are doing.\n800m is based on the British army's manufacturing tolerance of their standard weapon. They also expect their recruits to attain this standard. Firing a GOOD rifle is NOT difficult, it's p*ss easy.\nEven living in a wildlife de-populated area I could find wild boar and wild buffalo any night. If I could choose a wilder country, no contest.\nI have spent a lifetime tracking and observing animals, I know what I am talking about. And forget 'rifle-range' at a waterhole or animal path. I go to where they live and sometimes get close enough to touch. Most hunters will probably be surprised at these basics of tracking - ignorant drunk hicks playing at being men.\nYes I agree markmanship is a skill, just watch the olympics. But if hunters want to attain this level, get out of my precious nature and get on a range. Otherwise it's TOO EASY.

No, it's not illegal.  It's only illegal if you are wanted for questioning in a crime relating to a baseball bat.  You're safe otherwise.

In Texas it is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.  Also the Encyclopedia Brittanica is banned.\nsee: http://www.dumblaws.com

Do you own the property?  If so.. as long as they are hunting under the rules and regulations governing hunting in Texas it's completely legal.\n\nNow.. if you don't own the property but leasing it.. then you need to ask the owner of the property if this is allowable.\n\nI would suggest that you give your friends a letter to carry with them granting them the right to hunt there and spell out the allowable times, dates and type of game they are able to hunt.  This will help reduce the confusion as to what you have the permission to hunt and when.  Also, if they get stopped by a game warden or a neighbor that is watching over your property they have the proof that they have permission from you.\n\nHope this helps!

Actually being drunk would make it very hard to focus and shoot accurately so I doubt that they would be very successful.   I would assume being crazed would seriously hamper the success rate also.  As for deer being innocent, well they all say they are but can you really trust a deer?  Now if the question is really how to kill a deer with a bow and arrow then read on...\n  First you must practice for hours on end until you are good enough to put all of your arrows in a 6 inch group at whatever range you plan on shooting, normally 20 yards or less for Whitetail Deer and 30 to 40 yards for Mule Deer.  Then you must scout out an area to find a spot that will put you within that range of the deer.  You must buy a license to hunt with a bow in addition to your regular hunting license.  The money you spend goes into improving habitat for the very animals you are hunting.  After all of that, you must be able to get within range of the animal undetected.  Then you must draw the bow without being seen and release a shot that does not get deflected by any tree branches or grasses.  If your aim is true and the animal has not detected you, your arrow will find a vital spot and kill the animal.  Then, you must field dress it and transport it to the place where it will be skinned and cut up for consumption.  I hope this answered your question.
