Legal amount of rounds while hunting with rifle

[saylean]

Hey Guys...simple question here...but I am not seeing an answer in the regs...

I was wondering what the legal amount of rounds would be to have in a clip while hunting ....specifically, I will be hunting coyotes. My deer rifle only carries 3 in the clip...that is not my worry...

My AR 15 carries a bit more...

Just curious if there was a number that I was missing. This has not been much of an issue for me otherwise, since I usually hunt with my deer rifle.

Cheers~

Don't think there is a "limit" for coyotes or anything for that matter, I think the only stipulation that would be an issue would be hunting with an automatic weapon, and that may not even be an issue !!

That was what I thought...just wasnt sure...of course, I wont make you swear by it in court...


Off to go calling shortly...we'll see if anything happens...

Well..I know there is a 3 shell limit for ducks...but otherwise...

Thanks~

I'll rephrase that what I meant was hunting with your weapon on fully automatic !!

I am not sure of the answer, but I always thought it was limited to five rounds.

I think my 30-30 holds seven....

As of mid-last season, there was no rule limiting the number of rounds that can be held in a magazine (fixed or removeable).

Hunting with an automatic weapon is clearly listed as illegal in the regs.

thbradford, I think we are old, I think there used to be a 5 round law, we used to ask ourselves about the 30-30 rifles and the 44 mag rifles.
I am not sure at all but I think the rule went away.  I will check my resources and report.

I usually slap the 50 rounder in the mini-14. I sure hope there is no limit. I usually dont get em till about shot 10 or 12 when the dust trail of bullets finally catches up

way more fun to just shoot like crazy rather than aim.

Our State attempted to pass a law of only 5 rounds, but it never happened for rifles.

Shotguns have a limit of 3, so make sure your plug is in there! 
Rifles...well, if you need more than a couple anyway.....

But, no limit as of now.

WaStickSlinger-boy oh boy, your sure gonna start stuff with THAT post!    seen folks who actually hunt like that down on the Snake....thats why I only hunted there ONCE.

[saylean]

I only asked, as all I had for my AR was 30 round clips, which came with the gun. I just didnt want to have to go out and get different clips...

Yep it's the spray and pray technique.

I prefer the pray THEN spray

Isn't the 3-round rule only for wing shooters?
I think i'll double-check the regs....I don't shotgun hunt anyway, but I was thinking you could have more than three if you were hunting them thar non-winged critters.

[littletoes]

Yep, three rounds for bird hunters, not slug guns for deer.

I havent seen anything in the rule on a limit. My deer/elk gun only holds 3, my yote gun is an AR15 and I usally just have a 20rd mag with 10rd's in it.
