That would be a sweet ride, but according to the DNR, you couldn't use it here unless you are a disabled person with a permit. It would work great for that, here is an exerp from the DNR law manual.
Would be cool though!
Hunter
Motor Vehicles
• No person may take a wild animal with a firearm or by archery
from a motor vehicle except a disabled person with an appropriate
permit. A disabled person with a permit to shoot from a stationary
motor vehicle may take a deer of either sex without an antlerless
permit except in those Lottery Deer Areas that have an either-sex
permit quota of zero. Other members of the hunting party may not
shoot antlerless deer for the disabled person.
• Permits to shoot from a stationary motor vehicle may be issued by
DNR Enforcement to a person who obtains the required licenses
and who has a permanent physical disability that is more substantial
than discomfort from walking. The permit recipient must: be
unable to step from a vehicle without aid of a wheelchair, crutches,
braces, or other mechanical support or prosthetic device; or be
unable to walk any distance because of a permanent lung, heart, or
other internal disease that requires the person to use supplemental
oxygen to assist breathing. The permanent disability must be verified
in writing by a licensed physician or chiropractor. In addition
to providing the medical evidence of permanent disability, the
applicant must possess
a valid disability parking certificate or license
plates issued by the Department of Public Safety. Permit applications
are available
from any DNR regional
office or by calling
the
information
numbers
on page 125.
• No person may use a motor vehicle to intentionally drive, chase,
run over, or kill any wild animal. Road-killed animals may not be
legally possessed, except by special permit from a DNR conservation
officer.
• Shooting from a motorized vehicle is unlawful. o
Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs), including All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)
A person may not intentionally operate an off-highway vehicle:
• in a wildlife management area, a state park, or a scientific and
natural
area, except as specifically authorized by law or rule;
• in unfrozen public waters (lakes, rivers, streams and certain wetlands),
or in calcareous fens as identified by the commissioner;
MOTORIZED VEHICLES
2007 Minnesota Hunting Regulations
26
• on a trail on public land that is designated or signed for nonmotorized
use only;
• on restricted areas within public lands that are posted or where
gates or other clearly visible structures are placed to prevent
unauthorized
motorized vehicle access; or
• transport an uncased firearm on or shoot at a wild animal from an
OHV.
Grouse Hunting Near Motor Vehicles
• A person in the vicinity of a motor vehicle may not shoot a firearm
or an arrow from a bow at a grouse, or at a decoy of a grouse
placed by an enforcement officer, unless the person is at least 20
yards (60 feet) from the vehicle and the vehicle’s engine is shut off.
This provision does not apply to a person with a disability who has
a permit to shoot from a stationary motor vehicle. This restriction
includes all motorized vehicles.
Using Motor Vehicles During Deer Season
To reduce disturbance during the prime hunting times, a person
possessing
any valid deer license is restricted to the following hours of
operation
for snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs*) during the
firearms deer season, including the muzzleloader season.
Such vehicles may only be operated:
a) before legal shooting time (one-half hour before sunrise),
b) from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m, and
c) after legal shooting hours (one-half hour after sunset).
• This regulation applies to all public and private lands. Landowners or
persons authorized by landowners may operate snowmobiles or allterrain
vehicles on their property at any time.
• A permit to operate snowmobiles or ATVs during the closed time periods
may be issued by a DNR conservation officer in an emergency or
other unusual condition.
• ATVs and snowmobiles are not allowed in State Parks, National
Wildlife Refuges, Scientific and Natural Areas, or Wildlife Management
Areas. ATV use is regulated in state and national forests. (See
rules on using public lands, pages 102-123.)
* ATVs are defined for the purposes of these regulations as all vehicles not requiring
Minnesota
Department
of Public Safety licensing, including
trail bikes, 3-wheelers, 4-wheelers, 6-wheelers, tracked vehicles, and other
similarly manufactured
or homemade
vehicles.
