erikwells Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I looked through the 2012 regulations and couldn't find what the requirement is for hunting near a road. I found the 500 feet restriction occupied buildings and livestock. I'm thinking of setting up a stand about 200 feet from a county road. They define not shooting across a roadway etc..(I certainly wouldn't do that) but nothing I could fine about having a stand being required to be X feet from a road. Am I missing it?

paceman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I see stands all over the place just off of roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikwells Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Paceman, yeah I do too. I make it a point read the regulations being I'm too dumb to get away with anything. I have always known about the 500 feet from occupied buildings and livestock so I figured there might also be some threshold for how far you need to be from a roadway. Maybe I'm looking for something that is not defined. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paceman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have never read anything about a required distance from a road. As long as you are off the road right of way and not shooting towards or across the road you should be totally legal. I have a stand that is about 50 yards off of a county road. It is very thick woods though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofishfisherman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm unaware of any restrictions on distance from road other than not shooting from the right of way.200 feet from the road is over 60 yards so you should be good to go. Driving on country roads in MN you'll surely find thousands of stands much closer to the road than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerysniper Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You just have to be out of the road right of way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
