"On private property, hunting while in or on a vehicle that cannot be legally licensed to operate on public highways in Tennessee (ORV, ATV) is permitted providing the vehicle is stationary (engine may be running). Hunting from any vehicle, stationary or otherwise, is prohibited from a public road, right-of-way, or on public property, including WMAs."

Your truck can be licensed to operate on public highways, so that would be illegal.

I just talked about this with my county game warden the other day and he said as long as you was on private property it was legal to sit in your truck and hunt,as long as it was turned off and you wasn't shooting from a road.

Sounds like your county game warden needs some more training...

All this tells you is that it is legal to hunt from a four-wheeler. It does not say that it is illegal to hunt from a truck.

So some of these all-terrain vehicles/buggies which can be legally licensed, are illegal to hunt from? Asking because I have friends that use them instead of 4-wheelers and hunt from them. Now, they are not registered, but they can be if the owner wanted them to.
