Ask Fish and Game: Hunting along railroads

Q. I always see deer near the railroad tracks, but I can't find anything in the regulations about it. I understand it would be considered private property because it is an active track. However, there are no "no trespassing" signs or any orange markers of any type. Is it legal to hunt near the tracks? A. Railroad rights of way are private property. One should always ask permission to hunt on private property. Even though the railroad right of way may not be posted "no trespassing," a hunter could be held civilly or criminally liable for damages that may occur on any private property.
