Definition of Harassment?

[BrianID]

There is no clear cut rule on harassment of wildlife. If you are on a groomed snowmachine trail and come around the corner and spook some deer off the trail you should not get a ticket. Most F&G officers won't write you a ticket unless you do something fairly serious like chasing deer with a snowmachine or throwing rocks at deer so you could get pictures of deer running in deep snow. If you were spooking deer or causing deer stress so you could get close up shots you could get a ticket. For most people ethics will prevent them from bothering wildlife well before the law limits their actions. Anyway that is my 2 cents. It also wouldn't hurt to call the F&G and ask them.
