Ok, I moved to sask in Feb and being a B.C. boy I don't know the laws for shooting off them. I'm not talking the secondary highways but the lesser traveled range roads. All I can find is you have to be 500m away from and inhabited structure and live stock ex and all the regs say is you can not shoot across or along them. So to me that means if I take one step off the road and angle away from the road I am OK it this true or not.
 
You know if you have questions pertaining to hunting regs its best to ask a CO and get it in writing. People will interpret laws in all kinds of ways best to cover your own butt and not look to the interweb for advice on these matters.
 
Any CO i'v ever talked too would never give you anything in writing unless it was a ticket. Also no 2 CO's will give you the same answer. Most of them don't know the hunting regs.
 
^^ What Dogleg says. Be careful , though. Some of the young Mounties I worked with considered any road that ran east/west or north/south was a "grid" road. Even though you may not breaking any laws, people like them can spoil your day. Most of them took exception to an old fart like me pointing out that grid roads are numbered as "grid roads". After all, what did I know, I didn't have a blackberry.

I notice that our local RM (Rural Municipality) has signs on some intersections giving the local names for the roads, as well as some stating i.e. Township Road 123, or Range Road 456, etc..
 
Get out!!!! There are no road hunters in sask. Getting out and into the ditch to shoot takes far too long>> They have to take the door off the truck then carry it to the ditch then get the gun proped on the mirror. Good for the game animals tho they always get away! :)

Just kidding, don't have a cow people!
 
When you go to the range you sit with both feet planted and the gun supported on a solid rest. When you hunt from a blind you sit with both feet planted and the gun supported on a solid rest. Why? To give your self the best possible chance to hit the target. Same thing when shooting out the window of the truck. Deer is standing relaxed, one clean shot to the vitals. Quick and humane.
Nomex on!
 
I've asked several CO's and sadly gotten different answers each time!! Some say as long as I'm in the ditch it's ok. Others say I should be on the far side of the ditch and beyond. All agreed it's ok to shoot off the hood as long as I'm well off the road. I'd approach this carefully...
 
yes you can drive around until you see a deer then pretend you jumped out before you shot it...just toss yer brass in the ditch to prove that' where you shot it from...

lots of folks do it...we call them road warriors...easily tracked by following the trail of kfry and timmies garbage...

:p

Don't forget to dress head to toe in camo, then sit in some small town bar in the evening and complain that you put 400 clicks on your truck that day and didn't see any deer.

If they didn't want us to shoot from the truck they should never have invented electric windows, precision elevation adjustment.

BTW You can shoot off numbered highways! Just remember that every cellphone do gooder is going to report you for no legitimate reason other than they don't know jack S** about Sask. laws. That's why i don't recomend doing that. Each to their own.
