Unless you are a licensed Trapper. In Maine, they can have a firearm in the woods on Sunday, for humanly dispatching trapped animals.
The Wardens have a huge amount of discretion pertaining to how they enforce that law. Honest to goodness target shooters have nothing to fear going to a gravel pit or back yard range. Poachers on the other hand, well, lie to the game Wardens and see how it goes. The Judge may believe you when your Bail is being discussed, but the Warden's up here won't. |

Law enforcement - of whatever kind or agency - with unbridled discretion, is an anathema to fairness and due process. Quote:

On a Sunday afternoon in Maine, what's the difference between a guy plinking in his back forty acres with a .223 Mini-14 ranch rifle, and a guy with the same rifle who's looking to make extinct - or at least thin-out - the coyotes plaguing his farm and livestock? Neither are engaged in actual 'sport hunting.' ... And the latter is only doing nuisance-predator culling. Sunday 'hunting' bans are a legal symbol of moron-run non-Free States.

The glass is half empty to some, half full to others.
Most of us don't break the law, nor fear the badge. "Dude"...????? That explains allot! Last edited by shurshot; October 29, 2019 at 09:50 PM. |

I live out in the sticks in SWMO. A Ruger All Weather 77/22 WMR and a Harrington and Richardson 12 ga. single shot hang on the coat rack by the back door. They handle armadillo, feral cats and dogs fine. Hear coyotes all the time but have yet to see one in the yard.
A Walther P22 rides in the console of the truck. I've used the P22 for coup de grace duty a few times on hit but not dead animals and sick ones that needed it. I don't carry guns on my person regularly, but I'm seldom very far from one. |

Growing up, a Savage .22/.410 over under did most of the farm duty.

I'm getting this conversation late but if I lived on a farm I'd give the new Henry Long Ranger a look, in 6.5 Creedmoor.
