Ruined a kid’s hunt

[mtmiller]

Working in south Phillips today and popped over the hill to see a pickup with WA plates stop along the county road. I waved and drove by, but stopped about 100 yards down the road when I saw a youngster get out of the passenger side with a rifle and get in the back of the pickup. He sat his ass on a cooler and put the rifle over the side rail.

Apparently dad decided it was a bad idea when I got out of my rig and ran some video on my phone.

The doe was about 300 yards out on block management. The bma headquarters was closer than the deer.

There I go making friends again.

Gotta start poachers early...you know recruitment

You have to get in the backs of pickups now to lob lead over the backs of bison in South Phillips. Sad!

 

[Jape]

The kid was just sighting in his rifle.... towards a deer.... during hunting season.... presumably wearing orange....

Sounds like just another day, to me.
Hunting roosters this AM, a truck is parked out in the middle of a river bottom, dad and junior sitting inside it - blaze orange over nice looking camo.
Thought I'd tell them I just mucked out a major portion of their view (from the seat of the truck) with my dog. Dad informed me it was pretty cold, they were sitting in the truck hoping something would run by.
It was about 45f.
Yup, "hunter" recruitement........

Exactly . It’s opening day of youth deer . I see no issue here

I assume we’re talking MT.......is there a law against shooting from a road?

Yes, as well as a law prohibiting shooting from a vehicle unless holding a disabled person permit.

 

[bigsky2]

The BMA probably has a rule where you aren't supposed to shoot that close to the headquarters either.

 

[huntin24/7]

That’s just not enough opportunity to shoot a deer if you can’t shoot it from the truck. Montana’s an opportunity state. #opportunity

Then I’d be video’ing too! Good job by the OP to put a stop to it.

Curious about something mtmuley, when an antelope is hit with a 300 RUM does it blow up like a prairie dog getting zapped by a 22-250?
