Is shooting from a trailer shooting from a vehicle?

Following up on the question. With the trailer being fixed structure, how many years not on the road? Realistically, what's the difference between using it as your shooting platform and say a tree stand.

Then you factor in the game warden must have permission to enter private property, or is suppose to be given permission prior to entering. What they do however is not always what the rules are.

I have been checked while hunting on private property a few times, they never asked permission to go on the property. But we could be seen from the road and that's why they came.

If you saw where he can shoot from, it's off the road a ways, not saying they don't use glass to see what's up. He could always make a camo net to resemble a rusty trailer, of reefer unit. No one would look twice.

Yeah, you can see from two miles away with good glass. The question is really just academic at this point as there are other structures that are just as tall, and in the area, no additional elevation is realistically needed.

If you take the wheels and hubs off mounting on blocks like a trailer park in the old days the it is no longer a vehicle, it is a storage shed.

Best bet is to ask the district wildlife manager for the area or send the CPW an email. They normally don't have any problem responding to these inquires. Otherwise you are just going to get a bunch of us saying that we *may* know some guy that shoots from theirs.

Guess he should invite me out there to get a better feel for the question then, would have to bring my hunting gear [Coffee]

I have seen them stick a spotting scope out the window of the truck to get a better look at people out in fields.

I was always under the impression that game wardens can enter private property for game related matters. That's what I was told anyway.

I was also told that "road hunting" (shooting from a vehicle) is legal on private property.

Best to check first though. Maybe I talk to dumbasses.

Your last statement could be true even if you talk to the King’s Game warde.... err, DOW.

If you shoot from a trailer......








......you might be a redneck.
