Default Road allowance

I’m sitting on a road allowance (even has a street marker). The land is fenced off. There are no boundaries to the allowance in the farmers field. If I walk due north can I go on and take a deer? Silly question, but this is still grey area for me.

Default RA

Depends on the county you are in.

Some road allowances are leased or licenced by the adjacent landholder.

Road allowances are only about 60' wide.

I would suggest, unless you know, stay off until you have permission.

Ya good call. What about large power lines. I saw a truck parked in the scrub under one. Are they fair game? (Foothills county)

While most likely legal to do, the chance of you shooting a deer, and it dying on the road allowance is pretty slim. Then you’ll have a headache trying to get permission to get the deer.

A little pre hunt preparation, like purchasing a county land owners map helps to prevent the type of situation you are now facing.

I have my landowners map. Problem is I can’t find where this guy lives among his 10 sections!!

Those bucks wondered through, I have no idea what the boundaries were so better safe then sorry. I’ll head somewhere tmrw where I have clear permission and hope for the best.
