Page 11 2008 Waterfowl Regulations

• A person may not transport any firearm in a boat or other watercraft being propelled by motor or sail unless the firearm is unloaded and contained in a case.

97B.055 DISCHARGING FIREARMS AND BOWS AND ARROWS.

Subd. 2.Restrictions related to motor vehicles. A person may not take a wild animal with a firearm or by archery from a motor vehicle except as permitted in this section. Notwithstanding section 97B.091, a person may transport a bow uncased while in an electric motor-powered boat and may take rough fish while in the boat.

I could not find a direct reference in the Minnesota Rules to the provision in the Waterfowl Regulations. In my practice it has been a given that there has to be a direct rule that is the basis for the entry in the published regulations.

I am not aware of any case that deals with the subject.

It may be legal in a canoe but you are at risk if you try it.

I know you can legally float a river and take watefrowl from a paddle/oar propelled boat, as long as the river is less than 100 yards wide (page 10 of waterfowl regs).

But I would guess that is just waterfowl. Let us know if you find out about non protected animals. (Just to know, as I don't hit rivers too often...)

I've read magazine articles about guys shooting deer out of their canoes with their bow. I don't know the law in this case, but would kind of assume it's probably okay with a boat or canoe not being propelled other than by hand.

Thanks Tom for the info. So I just need to step off the boat and blast them then.

Just make sure you have permision to be there. Tresspass rules apply as soon as you touch the shore. If you are on my riverbank and start blasting away, you will get a visit from the county mounty.

Season dates copied from the MN hunting and trapping regulations book. Coon are protected with a season again. They were not for several years but are once again.

Babe Winkleman did a show on driving deer off islands -on Lake of the Woods I think. The video showed him shooting from a boat? as the deer ran across a narrow saddle between islands. I would love to see more clarification on this practice. It sounds promissing. Any one else see this episode and know the rules?

In that show he was on shore, but the bipod and the deer were both in the water. Rules up there are you can shoot over water, but both you and the deer must be in contact with the ground.

It was also Canada, and public land.

I would be more concerned with shooting towards shore in the dark as someone could be sitting there. In the daylight hours, there could be people walking through the woods that one cannot see and the bullet could hit them.

This does not sound like a very safe practice to me. I personally would not reccomend this at any time of the day.

The rules about wanton waste still apply too. Just because something is a non-protected species doesn't mean you can kill them freely and leave them to rot. Also I would imagine that you might in danger of breaking trespass laws since you're shooting animals on land is probably not public land. It would be similar to shooting over a fence to kill something on land you don't have permission to hunt.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
