Spot lighting is way different than making the deer move on the winter range. There is no comparison in stress levels. These deer that have migrated many miles and are foraging on next than nothing, need to be left alone. The law states not to harass game that are wintering. Obviously, the guy that got ticketed broke laws that are written and the game warden had every right to cite the guy. These deer will bed down most of the time to conserve their energy reserves on their own. Why push them? Just to get their horns?
End of conversation.
You need to live here to see the predators and the winters take there toll out. And now you have National Shed hunter group adding to it.
If I was C.O. and the law is in the regulations, I would write you a ticket and you can explain it to the judge.
