HUNTING DEFINED
Hunting includes pursuing, shooting, killing, capturing and trapping wild animals, wild birds, and all lesser acts, such as disturbing, harrying or worrying, or placing, setting, drawing or using any device used to take wild animals, wild birds, whether they result in taking or not, and includes every act of assistance to any person in taking or attempting to take wild animals or wild birds.
50 YARD RESTRICTION FROM A PUBLIC ROAD
You may not hunt or discharge a firearm within 50 yards of the right-of-way of any public road, highway, or railroad with a centerfire rifle, a shotgun using slugs or shot larger than number four (4) shot or a muzzle loading rifle .40 caliber or larger. This law significantly impacts deer hunters. It is illegal to take any action to harvest a deer within the 50 yard restricted area with a weapon or shot listed above. The law was passed by the State Legislature to address safety issues.
It really isn’t complicated. You may legally cross a public road with a loaded firearm so long as you have a right to be on either side of the road. You aren’t considered hunting until you are taking a direct action to harvest an animal, which you may not do from the road or shoot from one side of the road to the other side of the road. If you own property within 50 yards of the road you may be exempt upon that property on said side of road or railroad but you still probably ought to not shoot across or down the road with a rifle. The intent is what constitutes hunting from or across the road or right of way.
