Who here thinks spotlighting should be banned? I got word of yet another monster buck poached at night. It is banned in Ohio. I enjoy spotlighting, but if it meant many less poached deer, I would support the ban.
I agree, but no spotting might make it easier for law enforcement to make arrests for poachers. Once word gets around, I think poaching numbers will dwindle. I can appreciate your point of view...gary3414 said:Are deer shot at night in Ohio? Spotlights are not the problem. Poachers will poach with or without a spotlight.
Seems to be a good compromise. Might be dangerous in the woods, however.dpms said:I would support a ban on spotlighting if semi auto firearms were legalized for all hunting. I am in the mood for compromise.![]()
Nah. One of those assumptions that never happens. Few would use them.Double Lung 20 said:Seems to be a good compromise. Might be dangerous in the woods, however.
I think you have a good point. I see so many guys who use bolt action rifles when a pump rifle is much faster for follow up shots and more than accurate enough for any shot in the PA woods for sure.dpms said:Nah.

Does banning spotlighting have anything at all to do with semi-auto legalization??dpms said:I would support a ban on spotlighting if semi auto firearms were legalized for all hunting. I am in the mood for compromise.![]()

Reason enough to NEVER ban it.buckmasters243 said:Hey guess what? Criminals don't obey the law, or care!
Yep ... only the lawful folks would be restricted with a ban on spotlighting.buckmasters243 said:Hey guess what? Criminals don't obey the law, or care!
I would support a ban also but want you to support mine. Since some deer are wounded in archery season I want your support to ban archery season/equipment?Double Lung 20 said:Who here thinks spotlighting should be banned?
