Deer Private Propertry No CPL

Dont know all i remember he came on the property on his own to check on a tags and a camp deer permit, so maybe that permit gave him permission to be there......but one way or another, he was there and they court said it was legal! I loose

I disagree that the DNR over reached.

There is NO loophole in the law for loaded long gun carry in a car on private property.

And the fact that you had hunting licenses gave him permission to check you. Perhaps reading the agreement you sign when getting a hunting licence would be a good idea?

I don't agree that the law on loaded long arms should apply on private property.. but it does so blaming the DNR for enforcing a law on the books is silly. They didn't make the law they just are charged with enforcing it.

Now that CPL holders can legally take feral swine on sight, I wonder if that gets us around that clause. Thoughts?

Get a small game license, and you'll surely be covered year round.

The fact that we as CPL holders can hunt Feral Swine year round anywhere in the state negates the need for any other license to be in areas frequented by wildlife. IMOP

Seems to me, he was out to make his quota. I don't see why he couldn't have just let you off with a warning. I'd understand the tickets, IF you and the others had a history of violations, but, on your own land even? Geez, tax collectors with guns is what I'd call the DNR cops.

in this case my uncles have a long history of poaching, they have been on this land most of their lives and eat off the land all year. So the DNR regulary makes visits to the land to check on things... to my knowledge dnr has never been back there during hunting season. Due to my health I have quit hunting.

and this was in the 1990 so who know what laws have been changed or how since then, i sure dont remember but I will say one thing, I will be as legal as i can when i go hunting again, if that ever happens!
