Great bull man! Bitchin'. Was under the impression that as long as it wasn't a gov'mnt maintained road, that it was legal to shoot from. Maybe I'm wrong.
Umm, not a road hunter and have never shot anything from the road, but I am with this guy ^, and then I read the rules.
PG. 76 #6; Prohibited hunting methods, discharging a firearm from, across, or along the maintained portion of any public highway, regardless of surface, is prohibited, except for hunters with disabilities.... "Public Highway: Any road, regardless of surface, maintained by public funds." (PG 16, Definitions)
So, I am guessing that state and federal timberlands falls into this category? So, like most all blacktailed deer shot from a landing were illegal? Hancock is not public, one can shoot away there, I guess.
What if the road is grown up and not graded or brushed any longer? Still illegal?
I have heard of a ton of deer and elk shot from or in the road, it is really illegal? I know a guy who killed a big blacktail in the road with a bow. That must be illegal, as well.
So, if a guy walks behind a Forest Service gate 5 miles and gets to the very end of the road and is standing on the the last landing which is gravel and shoots a deer up in the clearcut, it is illegal?
Learn something everyday, I guess I will stick to hunting the timber.

It really is threads that take off like this with people nit-picking the guys photo to death that keep people from posting on this site! It is none of YOUR business where he was standing when he shot. Most people on here are law abiding citizens who take the appropriate precautions to be legal. As far as where the tag is placed. It was on the horns in the picture, doesn't mean it was there when they packed the animal out. I don't see a quartered out animal there either? If they got it out whole, then the tag on the horns is fine folks, firmly attached to the largest portion of meat known as the entire animal. STOP BITCHIN! :bash:

I hope this isn't meant towards me. I am on OP's side. I just want to disagree with not being able to shoot one in or from a logging road (not saying he did, I don't care). Maybe my post was taken wrong or not articulated well, but, I cannot consider a logging road a "Public Highway", sorry.
If I were driving in or out and seen an animal in the road it would not stop me from loading up and popping it.

One member asked about roads that are overgrown. I'd argue that the fact that they aren't maintained would mean they're not 'publicly maintained' which would rule them out of the classification in my book. SO...if a road can be reached in your truck it's probably maintained...if it's on DNR land, odds are it's publicly maintained...grey area I suppose. When I hunt (rather unsuccessfully I should say) I try my best to go above and beyond in grey areas. In the case of this guy's story I'd say give him a break, he got his elk and didn't hurt anyone, which I believe is the goal of the law in the first place. He says it was legal and none of us were there to say otherwise. Thanks for posting the pic man and good job! Hope to join you in the public scourging section on or around the 21st!

Both bulls I have taken were on logging roads when I shishkababed em. I was standing in the middle of the road for one and on the side for the other. That's part of hunting in logging country. And of course be careful of your background. :twocents:

Sweet looking bull, hey before the internet police get on you, pull that tag off the horns and put it with the meat. Nice job, great otc bull.
It belongs on the largest section of the animal. On a 6x6, that would be the head and antlers.

Nope, I do believe the animal was cut in half and I've pack a few elk out with my head and antlers on my back but never half an elk on my back. I wasn't trying to internet police, like I said earlier, just passing on good info. If your largest part of elk are the head and antlers I wanna hunt were your hunting, cause that's what I'm after the most anyway!!Sweet looking bull, hey before the internet police get on you, pull that tag off the horns and put it with the meat.
