One of those laws that don't apply to me so if I've read it I don't remember but is it a violation to be hunting while intoxicated?? How would a GW check, call for a State Trooper? If so, what would the charge be called?

I’ve been on a bunch of dove hunts where folks were drinking beer, I don’t think there is a specific hunting law against it.
Now, if you got checked by a warden and you were clearly intoxicated then I guess he could write you a public intox ticket???

When I went through the Montgomery police academy we had 3 game wardens come and take the dui classes with us to get them qualified to deal with that

I was thinking they might need the State Trooper for the equipment but I was just speculating they wouldn't have it.

I'm not answering, ya'll figger it out on yer own. It is way more entertaining that way....

I don't drink, never have. But if I did I would already know the answer.

What equipment?

I've never been to a dove shoot that there wasn't drinking happening I don't think. I've never had a warden say anything about it when being checked at one either.

I been checked plenty of times on dove fields even sat and drank beer while shooting while GW was checking other guys shooting with me. We were in a dry county but all he said was just get a DD for the ride home which we did. He never said squat about us doing anything wrong.

A pen. Gotta have a pen for the sobriety test.

With a light on the end lol

Yes. Duh

^^^ this^^^

A breathalysizer or whatever its called. As I said, I don't drink so I don't know what driving or hunting while intoxicated entails. I was just curious because of some things I've seen in the past. Not something I NEED to know.

You know good and well there are a lot of Laws that are not on the books and available to the Public!!!

You have to ask on Aldeer to get the REAL answer!!!

That applies to driving. The only crime I could see is if the level of intoxication is so high and the person is shooting a gun with others around then reckless endangerment could apply.

Public intox applies to public area so if you are not on private property then that could be a charge.

Common sense says guns and alcohol DON'T GO TOGETHER!

Yes Sir, they do have them and you will see them used and more "DUI" checks on the water around here - Lake Eufuala - then any where else. Almost every holiday/holiday weekend during the summer.

If you blow over a .049er and are trying to fill out a harvest record they’ll get you for drinking and checking. It’s even more severe if you don’t have a pen.

I'll drink to all the above. Cheers....
