Some people simply can't resist temptation. We would be shocked how many big bucks are shot just to see if the poachers can hit them.I've never understood why spotlighting is illegal. As long as you don't shoot something why is it illegal to look at wildlife at night? Makes zero sense.
I agree but why should spotlighting be illegal if nothing is shot? What harm is done by shining a light on a deer at night? Do we arrest people for thinking about doing something now?Some people simply can't resist temptation. We would be shocked how many big bucks are shot just to see if the poachers can hit them.
I don't think it is UNLESS you have a gun with you. But still, at night you may not know what the hell it is out there. I'd guess if ever challenged by the SCOTUS or even a State SC, it be declared unconstitutional.I've never understood why spotlighting is illegal.

What state?A friend was driving from a wedding to the after-party somewhere in the country….got lost, pulled off an approach to turnaround and a warden busted him for shining for deer. Still in his tux, but had a coyote gun in the back. Warden said he was “sweeping the field with his headlights.”
Busted as in "gave him a ticket"? Busted meaning arrested? Or busted as in "wanted to talk to the guy in a tux for a few minutes to see if he was DUI and let him go with a warning?".A friend was driving from a wedding to the after-party somewhere in the country….got lost, pulled off an approach to turnaround and a warden busted him for shining for deer.

Next it will be illegal to stop and look at girls if you have a penis, they will charge you with attempted rape.“You can’t stop and look at deer with a gun in the truck.” What?!? That’s crazy.
