Deer spotlights?

[Docsknotinn]

It would be considered interrupting a legal hunt here because shinning is a legal activity governed by the DNR under our state game laws. I would think it illegal in every state to shine a vehicle at any time for any reason. Brightness of vehicle lighting is regulated by the state. Shinning a vehicle on the road could easily wind up resulting in the wrongfull death or injury of the occupants.

Just a thought.... There seems to be two distinct views on this subject. At this point, a simple YES/NO vote would be sufficient, and probably prevent the thread from being "junked".

Then the agruement could shift to "YES it's illegal, or NO it's NOT legal". LOL!

Just read your local game laws.
Here it is legal.

Thats where window shades and curtains come in handy,even some aluminum foil.I use them to keep the sunlight out when working nights the sun is brighter than a spotlight.

My Game warden nailed three different spotlighters this fall on the road that runs by my place. In Missouri it is illegal anytime.

Roadhunters and poachers and spotlighters are a big issue. Add in the methheads and we have a problem Houston.

However...Here in SC, it's legal to spotlight till 11pm on private land.

It is illegal to spotlight for deer at all times in Alabama. I grew up on a cattle farm and my dad controlled the breeding times so that the calves were all born late October thru end of year. With so many calves coming at one time we would have to go out before bed time to be sure no cow was having problems calving. Of course, we had to us a big spot light as we drove around the pasture. On three or four occasions we would be met at the road by a game warden to be sure we were ligit.

Does that dog have a license to drive? Hmmmm? Or does he only drive on private land? :laughing:

Great story Dan. Those ARE the good times!! The joke here in Alabama is during deer season we see all the turkeys and during turkey season we see all the deer. Still great to be out there in the woods with family
