I would have a real problem with the fine for shining on the adjacent property. Sounds like he was trying to protect someones hunting club! However, I do have a similar story to tell. It happened here in VA.

My neighbors were driving to different areas and using night vision googles to look at deer. They pulled up into a wide spot in the road and were looking at a few deer. They noticed that one of them was acting "funny". They finally figured out that it was the dreaded robodeer. They all had a good laugh; becasue they were not breaking any laws by not using a spotlight. Well, they watched it for a while and decided to drive on up the road. And, you guessed it they got company. The warden pulled them over, and told them they were spotlighting because their headlights brushed the field when they pulled out of the wide spot! Now the only weapons they had in their possession was a pocket knife and a baseball bat. If you can show me someone who could kill a deer in the middle of field at night with either one you better have it on film or elseI won't believe it!

They went to court, but the judge upheld the spotlighting charge. So, it looks like you may be able to beat the aforementioned charge of shining on adjacent property, but not the other charges. Good Luck!
