That's not hunting, that's illegal; illegal in my home state anyway...What about the rest of you? Is it illegal in your home state to hunt like tanner.leibel mentions? People like that give hunters a bad name and I would not label them hunters, but poachers. I wouldn't put it past those 'hunters' to go out at night with a spot light, a few beers, and continue their shooting out of a vehicle routine. Stick with your way of hunting tanner.leibel, you are doing it right.

Definitely not hunting. If my friends did that they would very quickly become my ex-friends.

Bo, this whole topic & all the responses must have gotten under somebody's skin, but you really pissed in their cherios by calling them what they are.

It's one thing being a disabled hunter and shooting from a vehicle and another thing NOT being a disabled hunter shooting from a vehicle. I believe everybody posting are not bad mouthing disabled hunters; they are bad mouthing the abled and willing who have the mobility through their legs and being, but choose to be lazy, good for nothings (and what BO says goes double for me).
People who have nothing wrong with their bodies don't know how lucky they are to be mobile, to run, take a deep breathe, to jump,...... to be free.

I'm getting up there 66yrs but here in Idaho no shooting from any vehicle so the same applies to the ATV'S. Come on Find them on the quad if you must but stalk em and shoot from your feet.

I would like to see quads and such ATV's banned from the Eastern slope of the Rockies. Many of the oil field roads that were pushed through sensitive areas along the rockies were closed for good reason. First of all they were ugly slashes in some of the most beautiful country in North America. Furthermore, they became a pipeline to prime habitat and a threat to the herds living in there. They also spawned terrible abuses by poachers. Now we have ATV's ripping up the landscape - apart use by disabled fellows it is not a question of if they will be banned it is a question of when they will be banned. They are tough on the environment and even tougher to justify in terms of fair chase. It is time to get back to the root of hunting using your own legs or those of a horse and shedding the big dollar toys.

If they are parked on their own property, its not poaching. However I don't like it. My father in law likes to ride around on our places and hunt. He doesnt like to sit in a stand. I dont know if this is what the op was talking about but either way its not hunting.

In my more paranoid moments, I wonder if some of these questions are just posted to see how many idiots are among us.

Big game hunting out of a vehicle is not legal in my area. Also, it is illegal to have a loaded gun or even a clip in your gun while in a vehicle. Nonetheless, those who hunted on remote roads back when there were no such laws will acknowledge their rifles were by their sides in the truck. In the 1950' and 60's, the oilfield guy did not feel wrong to do so on the way to his remote location. These were not gentlemen hunters with plenty of leisure time, they were working guys trying to fit some hunting time into demanding careers. They could legitimately claim to be hunting to feed the family. Times have changed and no one can justify this type of big game hunting today.
Just for a little perspective--One of our favorite outings as kids was in a relation's convertible with our bolt action single shot .22' s out each side, working our way across the gopher fields. Those ranchers invited us to come to shoot their gophers and we had a ball. Today, there would probably be a swat team waiting for us at the gate. So, in a relatively short space of time what would have been considered a harmless outing is now considered to be a criminal activity. That outing would feel as right to me today as it did over 40 years ago and rules be damned I would do it again with my grandkids given the opportunity.

It is illegal, unethical and reprehensible. Kody, you brought back memories for me of riding in a jeep on a ranch in Florida shooting armadillos (with permission and encouragement, of course). They say you can always identify a truck hunter because the barrel of his gun is rusty from riding around with it stuck out the window on rainy days.

A number of years ago I was injured in a car accident. My wife would take me out in her Toyota 4wheel drive station wagon,We would drive to a good hunting spot on a ridge, and use the car as a hunting blind.Now after years of recovery i'm back to hunting the old fashion way. thanks to 4wheel drives and good wives.

Yes hunting from a vehicle window is illegal in pretty much every state, unless like in the case of my dad, your disabled. Disabled hunters cam get special hunting licenses which allow them to shoot from their windows of a vehicle. My father has a back condition that causes numbness in his legs after standing for only a few minutes, therefore he can't do alot of walking or standing. So before you condemn everyone who shoots from a window, see first if it's their only option.

I had to read Tanner’s question a few times before I answered and it seems that Tanner just needs some education. Tanner your “friends” are NOT hunting. Hunting is getting out of a vehicle and allowing fair chase. Some times there are easy shots at game and other times you may get skunked. Sitting on your brain in a vehicle isn’t hunting that’s just stupid.
