Is it legal to drive a four wheeler while coon hunting?
The exact circumstance involves the dog running/tracking while the hunter is in the field on a four wheeler until treeing happens, then getting off the four wheeler to go shoot the coon.

The activity utilizing any motor driven conveyance would be illegal. I have posted the applicable Indiana Administrative Code below.
312 IAC 9-2-2 Prohibition against motor driven conveyances
Authority: IC 14-22-2-6
Affected: IC 14-22
Sec. 2. (a) An individual must not take or chase a wild mammal or bird from, by the use of, or with the aid of a motor driven conveyance, except:
(1) as authorized for an individual with a special hunting permit for a person with a disability under 312 IAC 9-10-10; and
(2) as provided in subsection (b).
(b) A motorboat may be used to:
(1) check traps that are lawfully set and maintained; or
(2) retrieve a dead or crippled waterfowl.
(c) A motorboat may be used to hunt waterfowl if the motorboat is:
(1) beached;
(2) resting at anchor;
(3) tied to a stationary object; or
(4) otherwise without motion except as provided by:
(A) wind;
(B) water current; or
(C) hand-operated oars or paddles.
(d) An individual must not discharge a firearm or bow and arrows from a motor driven conveyance while the conveyance is in motion.
