Hunting and Fishing at the Same Time

December 19, 2013

Question: Is it legal for me to hunt and fish at the same time? I would like to be on the boat or shore fishing with a shotgun beside me in case a duck or goose comes into range, and vice versa. If I am more serious about hunting that day, can I have a line in the water? Is this legal as long as I follow all the associated rules/laws? (Mike K.)

Answer: Yes

With things being the way they are I'm surprised at that answer.

Done it a lot of times from my kayak.

Such an eloquent response.  Thoughtful and very well written.  Rivals Tale of Two Cities.

It's funny seeing all the hunters in the Salinas River carrying fishing poles now.
