Is shooting from a trailer shooting from a vehicle?

[Irving]

Is shooting from a trailer that is not attached to a vehicle still considered shooting from a vehicle? Trailer in question is a 52' tractor trailer, not like a fifth wheel. What about a tractor that hasn't moved for who knows how many years? I have to assume that anything that can move under it's own power (regardless of if it actually can or not) is going to be considered a vehicle under the statute.

Don't know for sure without looking, but I believe you would be correct that if it can move under its own power, would be considered "vehicle". Now if it hasn't moved and unable to move for who knows how long, my guess is you wouldn't be ticketed for shooting from said "vehicle". A trailer un-attached to something that can move it wouldn't be a problem I'm sure.

I'd think that, unless you can find a specifically elucidated regulation, it would be up to the CPW/DOW officer who might see such a thing (assuming you are talking about hunting?), or, a cop if not hunting.

Seems like the sort of thing you should get an answer in writing.

Only care about hunting.

I have also wondered about this. I'd like to setup our shooting bunches on my flatbed trailer and move it around from spot to spot for shooting prairie dogs.

A trailer is a vehicle, it's just not a motor vehicle. I would go with checking with the proper department and getting an answer in writing as noted above, however I'd bet the answer will be it's not allowed.

Do prairie dogs and coyotes even count?

[crays]

Since no one has asked, are we to assume this is a flatbed trailer? Are there any laws regarding stands and/or blinds for hunting?

[Irving]

It's actually a full length semi-truck trailer. The roof is like 10' high and the elevation is pretty sweet.

No. When you consider the item in question is or has been a non mobile permanent structure for ever. Secondly the question your asking is about a "permanent structure" on private property. Not on public land.,

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.
