"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 believe you can sit in your vehicle with a unloaded weapon. get out of your vehicle, load your weapon and shoot as long as you dont have any contact with the vehicle. (useing as a rest).

Im not twra but this is how our local warden explained what you could do.

I own a Nissan pickup that CANNOT be legally driven on a public road/highway, although it is operational. Can I hunt from it?

If your vehicle is in a class of vehicles normally legal for the road, but yours isn't legal due to modifications or lack of registration, it would be illegal for you to hunt from it.

For the sake of "arguement" if your setting in your truck while it's raining and a deer comes out, you get out of the truck, slip (walk, crawl, whatever) into range of the deer and shoot it have you not just "hunted from a vehical" since you first spotted the deer while in the vehical???

Or is "hunting" in this case meant for the act of shooting from the vehical?

Also, how about farm tractors as they can be legally driven on the road ways??

Tractors have temporary legal access to travel to/from locations but cannot be legally licensed for the road. Might be the other "4 wheeler" option if you choose.... works for yotes! lol

Many ATV's(Polaris, Razers, Rangers, etc.) can be and are registered to operate on public roads(minimum speed vehicles). Does this mean this class of vehicles is illegal?

These vehicles can be titled and registered, but cannot be licensed. The statute specifically says licensed.
