Is it permissible to shoot from anything that moves by a motor?

Shooting from any motorized vehicle is prohibited under Maine law. This regulation is in place to promote safety and fair chase principles in hunting. When hunting, it's essential to maintain an ethical approach, ensuring a fair opportunity for wildlife and minimizing the risks associated with the unpredictability of firearm discharge from moving vehicles.

Allowing shooting from motorized vehicles could create dangerous situations, both for the hunters and for other people and wildlife in the area. The emphasis on safety and ethical hunting practices is crucial, and this regulation aligns with broader conservation efforts to preserve game populations and their habitats.
