Is shooting from a trailer shooting from a vehicle?

What's the difference from these?

I'd agree. No one is poaching from the road when it's a trailer that's half a mile away from the nearest road and hasn't moved in ten years.

The DOW does not utilize any common sense during enforcement nor understand the difference between probable cause, reasonable suspension and a stiff breeze across their wangs.

Do nothing to provoke them or attract attention

I talked extensively with several DOW officers about this very subject last year. You can shoot from a trailer of any kind as long as its not hooked to a vehicle. I was researching the rules and regs on shooting from a high rack in a pickup bed (like you can in Texas). The answer i got was "are you shooting from a motorized vehicle?" The officer then offered up info that shooting from a trailer detached from the pickup was legal, but it must be detached. I night hunt coyotes, on private ground, from a elevated shooting platform on a utility trailer. I call the DOW officer assigned to my area (99) every other Friday to inform him that i will be out night hunting this weekend. I've been doing this for just about a year now and haven't had a problem yet.

Excellent, thanks for the information! That's pretty much exactly my situation, assuming I ever actually go out and shoot.

Great info. I have wanted to shoot from my flatbed to gain a little elevation and have a nice level surface.
