Duck Hunting on lake shores

Part of Cougar Bay shoreline is owned by the Bureau of Land Management, and may be hunted.  Remaining portions are private property and would require permission from a landowner for access and hunting.  The southeast portion of Hauser Lake is incorporated within the city limits of the City of Hauser and is subject to any city ordinances regarding shooting.  The remaining shores of Hauser Lake are largely privately owned and access for hunting would be by permission of a landowner.  Excluding highway right-of-way property, proximity to roads is not addressed in Idaho Code.  It must be stated, however, that though it may be legal, it may be unwise to hunt or shoot in very close proximity to a public roadway.  Hunters should always keep in mind how their activities may appear to the non-hunting public.
