What is the fed. ruleIt's not a fed rule but just the forest service. Each federal land management agency has their own regs. This is the one that applies on Forest Service roads:36 CFR 261.10The following are prohibited:(d) Discharging a firearm or any other implement capable of taking human life, causing injury, or damaging property as follows:(2) Across or on a National Forest System road or a body of water adjacent thereto, or in any manner or place whereby any person or property is exposed to injury or damage as a result in such discharge.

Along the road or even if on foot on the trail, having to be be 100' away.

I always thought it was 100 feet off of any maintained county road.
He didn't get cited. Just warned. We have 680 acres that have 4 permanent blinds, but my buddy decided to hunt on the road side of the property. Which I have done before. We aren't shooting towards the road! He says he was 40-50 yards off the road. Just wondering why they contacted him for it, and more importantly the laws about it! The wardens in my area have a terrible reputation about making their own laws. 2 wardens have been to court about it. I won't go into details. I really just want to know the LAW!
