Blind magazine truck hunting question.

Wondering what health problems you have.

If you do you can get special consideration to hunt from a vehicle.

Better check on you regs for shooting from the road depending on road type.

Lazyness isn't a health problem.Please don't screw it up for those that need special considerations.Yes I am voicing opinion.

No ammo in rifle, period, if in detachable magazine out of rifle then fine, nothing in rifle while in vehicle.

You can throw one in and cycle just as quick as popping in a magazine and cycling.

Nothing like watching 3 guys stop, get out, and unload on a doe 547 yards away while I am on the other side hearing bullets zing over head. :mad:

Okay, I am done.
 
you can not hunt from any vehicle truck ,atv ,side x side, ect (boats have special exceptions and rules)
you also can not discharge a firearm from the side of a road.

I don't recommend hunting from your truck.
 
Get out, throw one in the barrel and shoot. It isn't any slower than putting a clip in and working the bolt, and it isn't any harder to know where to get a round in a hurry than where to get a clip in a hurry.

Yeah, I said clip.
 
Is this the truck?

Where I hunt we are not anywhere near the anti's eyes, but we still travel around on public roads. This isn't a shoot the gun out the window or from my open door or leaning on my hood scenario. We travel through vast unpopulated areas surrounded by crown land and grazing reserve. It's just to be able to exit the vehicle quickly and efficiently when we see an animal that fits the bill. A detachable mag works great for this. I was just curious if anybody without one hunts this way and what they do?

Shooting a deer from your vehicle isn't road hunting... It's poaching.

Road hunting is driving around LOOKING (which is what 99% of hunting is) for deer.


If you have a disability, then do what you gotta do. But if you're healthy...
 
Thanks for the good answers to the question. This question was out of curiosity. I do hunt with my aged dad who can't walk distances in the bush so we hunt 'FROM' the truck. Nobody shoots 'FROM' the truck or anywhere near the truck. It is nice with a mag easy to find easy to load as you exit the truck. I use a shell holder on the rifles with the blind box. It isn't a huge issue to load outside the truck just thought hey I wonder if we can skip that step?
 
Guess I am going to have to break the news to my paraplegic buddy he has to stop hunting. Has shot all his deer from a truck or atv for the last 20 years all in southern Ontario. Laziness is not an excuse I agree but get your facts straight please. If an old boy still wants to hunt and has to do it from a truck as outlined all they need in Ontario is a handicapped parking permit to qualify for special conditions. Shooting is not from the road allowance though, but 33 ft either side of the centre line you are good or inside the fence if one exists.

I don't know the rules for people with handicaps, but for the average Joe I am correct.

Get one of the cheap elastic cartridge carriers for the buttstock. Either keep the rounds in it on the stock, or to be really, really safe, pull the elastic "thingy" onto your forearm. Let's you keep the rounds right where they are handy

I know of at least one case where having ammo in the elastic sleeve on the butt counted as a loaded firearm because it was "attached to or inserted into the firearm". Before I believed that the reference was only to magazines, but in this case it was a falling block, so no magazine, and the sleeve was considered enough to be charged successfully.
 
Those who are casting insults about road hunting and talking crap about how it is illegal to shoot from a "road" should perhaps consider the OP's location.

Kitchener is a long way from middle-of-nowhere, interior BC. In more ways than one.

Typically, the "roads" are mere paths through endless miles of forests and clear-cuts. Sometimes the game is just standing on the "road". You can bet your ass the vast majority of us hop out and shoot that game if it is in season and we have the licence (and tag, if required by law). Some people go out intending to do this, others are just on their way to a spot for a hike, but pretty-much all of them will take the animal if/when they have a chance.

Sit in your blind over a barrel of apples and pass judgement, though. It's a free country.
 
They are only insults if you don't have medical conditions impeding your ability to hunt and just can't be bothered to get out and walk a bit.

Everybody says they hunt to get out and enjoy the outdoors.Then do that not behind the windshield defrost control and the lumbar adjusted. :)

Sounds like he OP kinda wants to know is a trailer tow mirror substitutes as a Harris 6"-9" swivel. ;)

What's so hard about dropping the hinge plate open when the CO pulls up behind you and spilling the cartridges onto the floor with the beer cans? It's only a little more difficult when the rifle is laying on the dash in the every-ready-out-the-window-gotcha position.

So we can't drive around with a loaded gun while hunting. If our rifle has a detachable magazine then great! With a hinged floor plate or blind box if I have bullets in the box with my bolt out, is my firearm loaded or would I be ok if stopped by a CO or RCMP officer. This would be a great deal handier than trying to load it up when a quick shot is potentially going to happen. Anybody know the legalese on this situation?

Do not drive around with a clip in the rifle or rounds in the box. Don't ask me how I know this!

Well that's interesting. In BC?

I use a shell carrier on the butt stock of my slug gun and routinely have shells in it while transporting it. I'm trying to recall if I had it with me any of the times Ive been stopped... I MUST have. If so, the fish cops never said anything about it. Ontario, btw.
 
I've got a shell holder with internal and external compartments that lives on the butt of my Double Badger 22/.410 during bird season. I would not have considered that to be loaded.

So if someone finds a legal animal standing on the road, while they are driving to their spot where they intend to hike/hunt, and they get out and shoot the animal, they are now just a lazy road hunter? This type of generalization and judgement is what divides us as hunters.

Case in point: On opening day of youth season, my daughters and I jumped in the truck and headed up an FSR which leads to massive areas of clear-cuts, up the side of a mountain. The plan was to spend the morning hiking, head to the truck and cook up a stew for lunch, then maybe find a spot and pop up the blind for the afternoon. 3k up the switchbacks I look up to my left and there's a buck. I ask my daughter if she wants it and she says "yes!". So I grab the shooting sticks and she grabs the .243 and I help her get set up. The buck turns broadside and she shoots it. Her first buck! We gut and skin it and get in the truck. We intend to hunt the rest of the day as planned. One more left corner, then a switchback to the right. Again, on my left up the hill a bit, a buck. Even bigger. I ask my other daughter "want him?" "YES!, this is amazing!" Repeat of last time. BANG! 2 bucks before lunch. I was disappointed that it was over so quick, but glad to have the food.

So, are you going to call my daughters lazy truck hunters, because they decided to cease the moment and legally take their bucks? If so, then go f&ck yourself.

Everybody says they hunt to get out and enjoy the outdoors.Then do that not behind the windshield defrost control and the lumbar adjusted. :)

I never said that. I hunt for food. The fact that I spend some time in my truck driving to my spots, and kill animals whenever I have the chance (whether hiking, driving, or in my blind) does not make me lazy, or any less of a hunter. It makes me successful.

If all I wanted to do is get out and enjoy nature, I'd join a hiking or cross-country-skiing club.
