By Means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle?

That was basically what everyone except this one fella argued. This one guy was trying to say that if you drive up to a spot, see ducks, get out, and hunt them, you are breaking the law.

Says 11 guys in Pennsylvania lost their licenses last year for this. Even went as far as to say that federal officials are the ones that told him that is what the law means.

Everyone else said the same exact thing that's been said here, and that is the way I've always interpreted it.

I don't think a game warden is going to write you a ticket for driving up to a spot, parking (legally), moving the required distance from a road, and shooting ducks. Assuming you aren't trespassing or breaking any other law, you've done nothing wrong.

Now shooting from a road, or shooting from a vehicle is a whole 'nother story.

So by his understanding; anyone who rides a four wheeler to their hunting spot, be it duck blind, deer stand, or tucked in the grass on a levee is breaking the law. The way I read it is don't hunt off of a motorized vehicle.

Basically, yeah. Although he said that is not what he was saying.

His point was that if you drove around looking for birds with the intent to hunt them, you were breaking the law. Basically, if you drove around, saw a field of geese, got out and jump shot them, you broke the law.
