Hello all,
alot of times sitting in the blind, I see rabbits, Grouse and other small game passing by.
Can I also take my Rimfire 10-22 with me, and have it loaded and uncased along with my shot gun inside the blind ?
Happy Hunting.

No...you can’t !!
Get yourself a high quality sling shot...with some practise you can become as good as a 12 yr old farm boy HaHa.. .
Thank you for the clarification !
LOL ohh the good old sling shot days hahahaQuote:

That is the actual wording of the law.
However, it determines how the CO you wind up talking to interprets "hunting".
You might get away with it but I doubt it - although I do know one guy that had a .222 for shooting crows and a shotgun for ducks in managed to talk his way out of it.
yea I wouldnt want to put myself in a situation like that.
Must have been one dumb CO or your buddy can sell ice to Eskimos.Quote:

Specifically says shotgun. Don't know how a rifle would go over though. Sure you would be questioned thoroughly so do you really want the extra attention?
Sub 3 pretty much eliminates a rifle....Quote:

Shoot the rabbit or grouse with the steel shot, collect game and back in the blind.

Operative word is “possess”, as opposed to “use”. From personal experience, don’t get caught with lead shot in your possession in a duck blind !!
I think this question was answered a few months ago in the “Ask A CO” section in the OOD magazine.
I thought that The problem with Ata83’s question is having the second gun LOADED, but in the OOD reference that Canthitathing gave, the 2nd gun being loaded wasn’t answered.
That's the right solution.Quote:
