Yeah whenever we did it they don't pay much attention, they just looked at us kept on doing what they were doing. I don't see the comparison to shining in my house at midnight. Deer don't have 'houses' and the deer that I'm spotlighting are already in the field and feeding. It's not like I'm tromping into their bedding areas or anything. If we are going to forsake our rights to hinder poachers then we should make hunting coons and coyotes at night illegal too because their gunshots might be mistaken for poachers. Or maybe pass a law that says you can't have a gun in your car after the sun goes down because poachers use guns at night. You see where I'm heading? I'm all for catching poachers but how many of our rights are we going to have to forsake to do so? I agree with the above post too, whether spotlighting is legal or not, a poacher is probably going to do it. I'm speaking from the standpoint of spotlighting on my own private property, I'm not sure if it is legal or not to spotlight from the road. I know when I lived in Nebraska you couldn't spotlight from a vehicle or have a weapon on you, and that makes sense to me, but totally banning the use of a spotlight at night seems crazy to me.
