My inlaws live on the other side of the mountain from where I'm camping and they have a herd with a NICE bull every night in thier meadow No. Permission lets you shoot anywhere on the property, as long as no other possibly occupied building owned by someone else is located within a 1/4 mile of the spot you shoot from. IOW, if you are shooting along or near the property line and the neighbor's house is less than 440 yds. away on the other side, it would be illegal. You must be 1/4 mile from ANY building. Under A.R.S. § 17-309(A)(4), it is unlawful to discharge a firearm while taking wildlife within one-fourth mile of an occupied farmhouse or other residence, cabin, lodge or building without permission of the owner or resident. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted September 18, 2020 I think the rule was created to keep the deer safe in rural subdivisions. Some of the deer my buddy gets on camera are pretty nice. I guess they don't want them dying in someone elses yard if they don't go right down. 🙄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outdoor Writer Report post Posted September 18, 2020 24 minutes ago, bonecollector said: Its a newer law. The ARCHERY rule was put in place in 2013 more for aesthetics than for safety concerns. I seem to recall the impetus came from Prescott Valley where one or more dingbats decided to pursue antelope in a developed area. One wounded a buck that wandered into an elementary school yard to die in sight of the students. I also recall a similar incident with a deer near Flagstaff but the details are fuzzy.

I thought it was recently like in the last couple yrs. Thought it was part of the rules package when they tried to get rid of trailcameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
