Well, that's idiotic. I understand that it's probably easier to ban lights all of the time since it would be difficult to prove either way that they weren't used to actively hunt. But, at least for deer hunting, a hunter needs to be at their spot well before it gets light out. So you're going to make them walk through the forest at night with no source of light? Likewise, you're walking back at night.
- giantg2 3y agoThe PGC hunter education courses specifically teach you to use lights on your walk in and out as a safety measure against any idiot that might be out there poaching (shooting at sound before light). A classic example of an agency playing God with their "interpretation" (advocating breaking) the law.
