Hunters, stay 150 yards away from a
house
|
 LITTLE
ROCK – There is an invisible but legal and required no-hunting safety
zone around every occupied house in Arkansas. It’s for anyone other than
the occupants and their families.
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations specify that no one can
hunt with firearms within 150 yards of a residence. There is an
exception. With written permission, a hunter can be closer than that.
The key word is “residence.” Barns, sheds and other structures
not being used as a primary or temporary
residence, do not count.
For archery hunting, the distance is 50 yards, and the written
permission exception also applies.
But someone living in a house or an immediate family member can shoot a
deer from the back porch – if such an opportunity arises. That’s legal.
Permission to hunt forms are included in AGFC hunting regulation
guidebooks. These are the same forms used for permission to hunt on
another person’s land. |
