[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 4006288, member: 15527"] I go out at least once a week and spotlight open pastures looking at deer and seeing how many coyotes I can spot, and have never had any issues in doing so, but I do NOT carry a firearm with me in doing so. I was stopped once last month and once the month before, by a Game Warden and Deputy Sheriff respectively, wanting to know what I was doing and what I was looking for. I told them that I looking for and watching deer and coyotes. They asked me if I had any firearms on my person or in my vehicle, and I said no. They asked if they could do a quick search of my vehicle, and I politely gave them my permission. They did a quick check that took all 30 seconds at most. Before leaving, they said not to shine a light toward anyone's house or at any vehicles and to enjoy my night. Other than these last two times, it has probably been 20 years or better since I stopped for spotlighting. It only stands to reason though, that if you are spotlighting with a 15 million candlepower spotlight, it it is going to attract some attention! [/QUOTE]
