Weird hunting laws

killer · 09-09-2006, 01:37 PM

I think it would be fun to post some real hunting restrictions where each of us live. I live close to Canada and at times have checked out various area's I wanted to hunt up there only to find some of the locations were closed to Sunday hunting period. I always thought that was a weird law.

A weird Minnesota law regarding black bear hunting (taken right out of the black bear hunting packet they mail you):

Sale of Meat, Organs, and Parts: A person may not sell meat or organs (including gall bladders) of a bear. A person may sell teeth, skulls, bones, hides, or claws, of a lawfully taken bear. A person may not sell bear paws, unless attached to the hide.

It's like they specifically word a law to stop some kind of a problem which apparently exists. Who would have thought the sale of bear meat and organs, specifically gall bladders, was so bad the state would have to pass a law?

How about some other weird laws out there....?

The chinese use various bear parts for medical reasons. Gall bladders are in high demand, people where(and are) poaching them, cutting out the gall bladders and leaving the rest behind. I'm guessing that is the origin of the law quoted above.

No semi Auto rifles here in PA.

You mean you can't hunt with semi-auto?

Colorado:No loaded gun in a vehicle.

Of course, I never checked it out to see. I may be dead wrong.

I learned that last year. The hard way.

In Vermont rifles and shotguns must be unloaded in a vehicle during hunting season, and for those commandos out there, there's no knife season in Vermont. Detatchable magazines are limited to five rounds. No suppressors.

In Alaska and Canada I believe it is illegal to "MOLEST A MOOSE".

I wonder what had to occure in oder for that one to be made law?
On second thought I would rather not think about it.
I think what was intended was "bother" a Moose. But an interesting word play.

lol........... Also, it is illegal here to shoot those Dam Blackbirds. (TX) Unless they predortierize (SP?) crops.

killer · 09-13-2006, 12:25 PM

If you mean crows...yes in Minnesota there is a season but you may take them out of season if they are, "Doing damage or about to do damage."

A very high up in command State Warden was quoted in the paper, "I don't know when their not about to do damage." Wink, wink, nod, nod.

Otter · 09-13-2006, 01:02 PM

In Vermont we kill anything "In the act of destroying poultry" Woodchucks, crows, it doesn't matter as long as you think it's destroying poultry.

Strange Missouri Laws:

·Kansas City: Minors are not allowed to purchase cap pistols; they can, however, buy shotguns freely.

·Merryville: Women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "The privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male."

·St. Louis: Illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket.

Oxford · 09-13-2006, 01:04 PM

Strange Kansas Laws:

·Wichita: A father cannot frighten his daughter's boyfriend with a gun.

·Natoma, it's against the law to practice knife-throwing at men wearing striped suits.

·It's against the law to annoy squirrels in Topeka

Yes, I can see myself as a minor sitting on the curb, drinking beer from a bucket, admiring the curvaceous unencumbered body of a young women, as I discussed what new shotgun I was going to buy. Yes...indeed!!!

Apollyon67 · 09-13-2006, 07:27 PM

and I bet Ox knows these from personal experiance too... A Bucket?

troy2000 · 09-13-2006, 07:54 PM

That one about the bucket of beer on the curb isn't as far-fetched as it may seem. At one time, it was common to byob (bring your own bucket) when buying beer to go, and I can see the good city fathers not wanting people to sit on the curb drinking it; it's kind of like the open container laws today.

Frankie went down to the barroom,
To buy herself a bucket of beer,
She said to the fat bartender,
'Has my lovin' man Johnny been here?'

'You know, he's my man,
He wouldn't do me wrong...'
