Title: What is truly the law of hunting and trapping in Safety Zones with permission
Post by: uncle buck on November 30, 2011, 11:10:01 PM
Could a land owner give you permission to shoot and trap in Safety Zones?  Even if the owner gives you permission could you get fined? Would the warden first ask the land owner if it was OK for such and such person to shoot or trap in a safety zone before fining them? Would a hunter or trapper need written permission or if confronted would knocking on the homeowners do be sufficent to confirm that someone does have permission to hunt or trap inside the safety zone?


Reason I ask this is that I was just looking at the Game Law codes and it area on Safety Zones.  It spelled out the law but said nothing of waivers if the land owner allowed you to do this.

Except as otherwise provided in this title or to any political subdivision, its employees or agents, which has a valid deer control permit issued under section 2902(c) (relating to general categories of permits), it is unlawful for any person, other than the lawful occupant, while hunting game or wildlife, taking furbearers of any kind, or pursuing any other privilege granted by this title, to hunt for, take, trap, pursue, disturb or otherwise chase any game or wildlife or to discharge, for any reason, any firearm, arrow or other deadly weapon within or through a safety zone, or to shoot at any game or wildlife while it is within the safety zone without the specific advance permission of the lawful occupant thereof

I don't think it would hurt to have it in writing though.

Permission does not have to be in writing but of course it always helps make things easier.
