This is what is in the hunting abstract:
It says discharge of any firearm or release of any arrow within 150 feet of a road is illegal.
Then it says possession of a loaded firearm, discharge of a firearm or hunting on the land of another within 500 feet of any dwelling or building in use without permission.
Does this mean:
1. possession of loaded firearm on the land of another within 500 feet of a dwelling
2. discharge of firearm on the land of another within 500 feet of a dwelling
3. hunting on the land of another within 500 feet of a dwelling
or is it:
1. possession of a loaded firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling
2. discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling
3. hunting on the land of another within 500 feet of a dwelling
and if I am on public land 200 feet from the road, but a house is across the street 400 feet from where I stand can I hunt, discharge a firearm or release an arrow?
I am confused with the way it is worded. Does anybody have a reference for what the law actually says?
What does "land of another" does that mean private land or does that mean any land I don't own including public land?
Thanks in advance. ETA spelling
