Grizz1219 986 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 OK, filled my only tag for rifle season, but still want to take my son and a youth hunter out to fill theirs. I am finding nothing saying I can't squirrel hunt while they deer hunt. Am I missing it?? Trying to make sure I am not breaking any rules. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

airedale 4239 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) You can hunt small game during Deer season, I do it all the time, but I think assisting others hunting big game without a valid tag is not allowed.

Driving as in driving the vehicle to their spot so they can hunt? Because obviously driving deer would be assisting and not legal. Other wise you can hunt small game all you want as long as you are not some how helping them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackbeltbill 5337 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Going from your title--- of course you can Small game hunt during Deer Season. I sometimes will go for Squirrels. I won't take my Sister's Lab Pheasant Hunting though until near the end of the 3 week Rifle Deer Season. That is just my decision though. I wear a bright orange hat when, I Hike during Rifle Deer in Sterling Forest. At Stewart State Forest- no Hikers or especially Mountain Bikers are allowed in there during Deer Gun Season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I know a deer drive would be assisting. Lol. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crappyice 13466 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Could you run across some a$$hat who says that even though you are clearly squirrel hunting you are indeed aiding the kids in their deer hunt by moving game???Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Private farm... I know most of the others that hunt it.. and I would literally be no where near the others hunting.. Would be a stretch for them to say I am aiding.. I would never try to bend any rule especially with kids involved. Showing them the proper way to do things is priority.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greensider 1118 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 You pay for your license just like a deer hunter you have same rights to hunt should you well that depends on many things but ultimately it’s your right 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grizz1219 986 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Just didnt want to break any rules. LolSent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nomad 13062 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Years ago I’d tag out and be done early ,I wanted help my buddies but I couldn’t . Then I thought the law changed and as long as you had a license, you could push, drive and so on , I remember because I was very happy to be able to participate. I read the guide and looked online, but did not come up with anything . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grizz1219 986 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 I just didn't want to just sit in the truck or sit with them increasing smell and movement.. let them hunt on their own... Figure I could get some exercise and shoot some annoying squirrels.. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
