Anyone know the legality of this?

[muledeerarea33?]

If I have to take a road that starts in AZ but ends in another state, BUT, it's right on the border. If I hop the state line fence back into AZ and kill a creature, then pack it back into the other state to drive home.... Am I legal?

i have heard it done before on the AZ NM border as long as the gut pill is in the right state your ok

[muledeerarea33?]

I figured the same thing, also thought about having pictures and gps cords just in case.

[wildwoody]

you sound like you got a good plan. dosen't work with the res.LOL

[muledeerarea33?]

Haha, you may know the general but not the exact!!! Then again??? Maybe you do?

[muledeerarea33?]

Yeah, the res is a whole nother country as far as laws and hunting goes. I'm guessing if I have proof I'll be ok? Haven't called G&F yet.

If your crossing the rez you better have at least 90 proof. And plenty of it.

Here's some things to look at:

 

A.R.S. 17-371(

R12-4-305(C )

R12-4-305(I)- Check the other state to see if they have a similar rule/law.

Yeah, if you're hunting on the Navajo Rez which has some units that cover two states.

No worries. I can keep a secret.

The same situation applies if hunting near any unit boundary. If you shoot animal on one side of the line and it runs across the line and dies then you need proof that the animal was shot in the unit that you have a tag for. The problem is if the animal is not dead when you find it you cannot shoot it again. A good plan would be to contact both states Game Wardens before hunting in that area.
