missedagain Report post Posted June 21, 2011 why do you want to hunt at night? Lark. +1 too much public land! IMO it will lead to more poaching and more accidents! James I go spotlighting fairly often and I have never seen any law enforcement in the woods at night ever. If I wanted to go poach at night I could do that now, if hunters were allowed to legally hunt predators at night when they are most active this would be puting allies in the forest at night and would reduce poaching or at least increase the catch rate of poachers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.270 Report post Posted June 21, 2011 i've never had much trouble shooting all the varmints i want in the day time. true, they run around a little more at night. i just don't know why a guy would want to? i'd be afraid o' shooting somethind i didn't want to shoot and it also looks to me like it would be hard to tell where you're bullet is going if you miss. and i tend to like to be in bed at night. i know guys who hunt at night and they never had any more success than a good hand does in the daylight. it doesn't really matter to me i guess, but i just don't see much need in it. it will piss off the treehuggers too. so i guess maybe it might be ok. anything that pisses them guys off is ok.

ThomC Report post Posted June 22, 2011 There many ideas on how to control the hunt so that not just anybody can go out anywhere anytime. The biggest obstacles are "politics" and "but we have never done that before" or "something ? might happen" histeria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperwrx Report post Posted June 22, 2011 AZG&F are talking about a controlled roll-out of night hunting in AZ. First stage is trying to get it legalized in the the units where the pronghorn antelope are being severely impacted by coyotes. If and when this is successful, stage 2 will develop. FYI- Any AZ hunting license holder can already hunt at night all they want. Raccoons! Look it up in the regs. I go half a dozen times a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZBowana1 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Has any one heard anything about the night hunting proposal? Yeah I was following this closely in the legislature, up until they put it on hold. It is unknown how long a hold on a bill can last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
