In WV. you could have stopped the boat, turned off the motor, made sure the boat was not moving from the power of the motor, waited until the deer exited the water then shot it from the boat.

And don't forget Germ. Germ uses his boat to plan a sneak attack and get behind deer that are in the fields. He sneaks in behind them and sets up in his stands before the deer get back, great idea.

If Germ does it, it's gotta work!

......would it have been wrong for me to jump on the boat, follow the deer to shore, and take the shot from the boat.

This isa perfect example of a dumb law. How could you ever determine that factor in a swift water river?

Only reporting on the law, I didn't write it.

Not sure, I would think that if you turned off the motor in a swift river or even a lake, and waited 10-15 seconds you are probably now being moved by wind, and current. But I guess it would be hard to prove either way.

What if you followed the deer to shore with the boat, but got out of the boat to take the shot? Nothing wrong there, right? As long as both you AND the deer were out of the water, what is the problem?

I am not sure what would happen in this case, but personally I would not do that. Its just like jumping out of your truck to shoot at a deer. Its not hunting. Its shooting. (((IMO)))

I'll be doing this too this year. I have a few stands that are right along the river. The problem is I'd have to walk a half a mile through the field to get to them. Instead, I'll use a canoe to come around the backside. The deer in the field will never know I'm there waiting for them.
