CatfishKev Report post Posted November 8, 2019 I've seen great glassing spots from the new Mexico side which put this question in my mind, also the san pedro which is separated between 30b and 35a. I think at this point the only time you wouldn't want to chance it is if your glassing from a rez. I dont think that's a chance any of us should take.

Coffeeman Report post Posted November 8, 2019 1 hour ago, 360 0r Better said: An old buddy of mine was the head of habitat for AZGFD for 15 or so years I posed that same question to him and he told me flat out it’s legal to shoot from one unit to another as long as the animal is in the correct unit you have the tag for when the shot is taken. Same thing as saying you shot from the correct unit and the animal crossed the unit boundary line and died you can legally and by law have to retrieve it even though it’s out of the unit once dead. How many times do you think that happens on FR3 between 6A and 5B north and south. I’d bet more than you think because it’s happened to me Shooting from or across a roadway is illegal. First thing that came to mind when I saw this topic, most boundaries are roadways. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJMauro12 Report post Posted November 8, 2019 I’ve wondered the same for years, but I haven’t had the guts to try it. Especially since most the Leo’s I’ve ran into seem like they’re out to get me. I was harassed pretty hard for camping in the wrong unit one year, luckily I didn’t get a ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many units are also divided by creeks as is the one I’ve always wondered about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delw Report post Posted November 8, 2019 Should be legal as technically your not hunting a animal in the unit your shooting from. Your hunting a animal in another unit which you have a tag for. alot of laws read "Take" so your not "taking" it from the unit your shooting in your "taking" it from the unit you killed it in.

First thing that came to mind when I saw this topic, most boundaries are roadways. True a lot boundaries are roadways of some type but there are far more that are a FR# or waterway of some type. Now shooting across a paved road is a totally different story which again 90% plus boundaries are not paved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted November 8, 2019 My bet is that if your gun is loaded and your not in the unit that your tag is for, you could be charged. Would GF charge you? Who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows. no, thats not true, he could be hunting yotes. there is NO law that says you can ONLY have a loaded weapon in your UNIT at least not in this state. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't chance it anyway. I haven't seen a Game Warden in 15-20 years. My luck I would sit down to glass in a unit that was across from mine and there would be one.

pwrguy Report post Posted November 8, 2019 I can't imagine a scenario where a hunter would get cited for this, but I guess crazier stuff has happened. I think it would be hard to make these charges stick in any reasonable court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
