HUNTING DUCKS OR GEESE UNDER ONE COULD BE A BIT OF A STRETCH!
but shooting through the turning blades would only add to the challenge!
and if the blade whacked'em he'd be 1/2 cleaned!

3 windmills on the one 200 acre farm we hunt. I like the windmill laneways for getting down closer to the bush. The farmer has the contract for snow blowing it all the time so its always cleaned out for me too.
Be careful after freezing rain. I have seen spots in wide open fields where huge shards of ice have came off the blades when they first start turning after rain or a flash freeze.
Well a buddy of mine and the group he hunts with lost their deer hunting area around Shelburne, they were told by the OPP that the area is off limits to hunting and they would be charged with trespassing if they didn't leave . This happened a number of years ago and to this date no one hunts there.Quote:

would it be any different than the hydro line or hydro roads as they call them? Savage 308
In that case,they were likely on OPG or Hydro property.It would definitely be a restricted area the same as any other generating station. Many turbines are on private property and leased. As such,these properties may be hunted with owner's permission.Quote:

We have hundreds of pinwheels in Chatham-Kent. I know of a landowner who refused to sign a contract for his farm, because there is a no hunting clause in the fine print. We hunt around them all winter for coyotes. We haven't been approached by anyone, even their security people don't bother. I heard at one time that the companies were trying to get legislation that prohibited hunting within 1000 meters of a turbine.......that would pretty much end all hunting in Charham-Kent, so I can't see that being any more than rumours !
never heard any of my buddys getting a zoning change for there land just so the windmills could go up .and how would thy zone a laneway and not the rest of the farm ,DutchQuote:
