hunt corporate parks

[mac]

what are your experiences trying to get permission to bow hunt corporate park areas? tough to get someone in charge to actually ask them but some places seem like there are opportunities..hunting time would be on weeknds when there arent employees around. but i guess if the land is owned by a business it is technically trespassing

if it is a park with multiple businesses you may need the permission from not only the land owner but the businesses leasing the buildings. refereing to the 500' regulation.

It is illegal to discharge a firearm or bow:

• so that the load or arrow passes over any part of a public highway,
  
• within 500 feet of any school, playground, or an occupied factory or church,
  
• within 500 feet of a dwelling, farm building or structure in occupation or use unless you own it, lease it, are an immediate member of the family, an employee, or have the owner's consent.
  

Does this mean if you are an employee, it is ok? called DEC and they had no clue.. great

Yes, but you have to get permission from any other businesses or residents within 500 feet

employee or not you need permission...it's not an easy job...most owners are scared of liability

as well as pissing off non hunting employee's

if you are an employee and don't have written permission expect to be fired

the answer is NO...bad advice....

just being an employee does not give you permission

most company's have a NO firearm policy...

[mac]

even for bow with no other buildings around i guess better to be safe and not do it. unfortunately passing up some deer and turkey

Bad advice, really? I was answering what he asked about the DEC regs. I didnt say he wouldnt have to get permission from the owner, that goes without saying seeing as that peron owns or leases the property. You always have to get permission to hunt any land unless you own or lease it.

As I said, he would have to get permission from all other businesses and residences within 500 feet as well.

As far as being fired, you can only speak about your own policies if you are a business owner, not all companies follow the same policies that you do.

Ask permission, the worst that can happen is they say no. 500 foot rule applies to bows and guns.

problem is you can never get a person at any large company to actually address my inquiry. goes back to them probably not wanting to take responsibilty of a hunter on their property. we'll have to move on... keep my options open
