Shooting over water? Is it legal? #1246905

I have a small plot that is next to a private lake. It seems I always jump deer when I walk in, no matter how slow or quiet I try to be. My climber is usually in the pines just north east of the plot (in purple).

Does anyone know if it is legal to shoot across the lake? I could setup near the red dot and easily watch the field. Shot would be 150 yard max.

I love my country, but don't trust my government.

If it is all on private land, and you have permission to hunt it, I don't see why you can't.

I've wondered this about hunting corners of a property. Can you say shoot across some one elses cut over if you and the deer are both your land. Imagine a right triangle and shooting the "hypotenuse"

Yes. It is perfectly legal to shoot across that pond.

No way that's legal IMO.

IDK, but seems to me it would be legal.
