Eric, while we're discussing the issue, what about hunting animals from the back of a moving truck? Is that "fair chase"? Seems like a cheap shot to me, pardon the pun.


Absolutely not and illegal in all States I know of - unless you're handicapped and have a valid tag - then you can shoot from inside a vehicle - but not moving, generally not running either - the vehicles vibration makes it hard to draw a bead anyway.

In all States I know of shooting from or over a road is illegal. You cannot even be standing on the road - you have to be some distance off the road.

When I lived in Long Beach I had a friend that hunted wild pig in N. California with a muzzle loader - pretty brave, nasty animal if you wound one.

Inside a vehice (which includes a truck bed) guns must be unloaded - holstered handguns don't count and muzzle loaders can be loaded as long as they are not capped, i.e. ball and powder loaded but no primer.

The ticket most hunters get while hunting is having a loaded firearm in the car - so they can get a jump on an animal (when road hunting, another poor style of hunting) - this is also the biggest cause of hunting related accidents as they snag the trigger on something when they exit the car/truck.
