Hunting with a AR................

[asquires2]

Talking to a buddy tonite we had a little disagreement. He saying that there is no regulation on magazine capacity when hunting with a AR and I told him you were only allowed a 5 rd mag when hunting in the state of Indy. I cant remember were I got that info from but whos rite and whos wrong?

I'm gonna say you are wrong. I think the only time magazine capacity is restricted is when dealing with waterfowl.

but I could be wrong, so I'm curious what others will say as well.

I dont recall a limit on anything EXCEPT for waterfowl

Like I said Im not sure where I heard it from but I heard it somewhere.

There is no magazine capacity limitation for hunting predators or small game in IN.

The only game with magazine capacity limitations are federally protected species such as waterfowl and doves. I would not recommend hunting them with a rifle.

OK I remember where I was told about the 5rd deal , it was from the gunstore I bought my first AR from . I wont tell no names cause regardless he's still a hella guy even though he did give me the wrong info.

 

[pftraining_in]

Some states do have magazine capacity limits. Magpul has even developed an adjustable capacity P-mag for hunting.

yep..no cap limit other than on game birds...doves and waterfowl have a 3 shot cap.

So we've learned here that "I heard it somewhere" and "I seem to recall" aren't the greatest sources of facts for us.

​

When hunting for migratory game birds
and waterfowl (i.e., doves, ducks, geese,
woodcock, etc.), it is illegal to use a shotgun
capable of holding more than three shells,
unless it is plugged with a one-piece filler
that is incapable of being removed without
disassembling the gun.
There are no restrictions on magazine​

capacity for hunting of any other species.

Page 6, middle column. Look for heading "Magazine Plugs"

just says "migratory game birds and waterfowl" so not sure about Quail. I'm not familiar with them.

there is a capacity restriction when hunting on military or proving grounds for any game. it was 5 rds for shotgun when we hunted jefferson proving grounds in southern indiana. I believe its that was universally nation wide

I seem to recall, I heard it somewhere that sometimes I can't seem to recall what I heard somewhere. And that IS a fact !

In Indiana, the ONLY thing that requires a round capacity limit are waterfowl and doves.

That's it.

No matter the game or the firearm.

Want to hunt quail with your Saiga and drum magazine? Have at it.

Squirrel with your 100rd drum on your 10/22? Have at it.

20-rd magazine for your .458 AR? 100% legal.

 

[Dr Falken]

There are so called "High Power" states such as Missouri that limit magazine capacity to 5 rds while deer hunting.

 

[ambushunter]

don't forget turkey has a 3 round limit also

Not to be a fly in the ointment... But can you cite this? Thank you.
