Default RE: Is it hunting to go after a wounded deer

I voted No we should not be restricted. But I would like to clarify that statement. If it it is dark I believe you should be able to use any means available to find a deer, wounded or not. Light, dogs electronics, whatever. However I don't feel you should carry a weapon if it is illegal in your area. It is just too hard for the DNR to distinguish between an honest hunter and a poacher. Walking around the woods with a spot light AND a weapon just doesn't look good. It is too bad it has come to this, but that is the world we live in now.

I read the other post on this and I don't see how you are supposed track a deer in the dark without a flashlight? That is retarded, humans are not designed for night vision.

The only thing I don't agree on with the current laws in my area are the tresspassing laws. I think if you are looking for game you should be able to cross a property line, again without a weapon only to retrieve game and you better have an open tag with you.
