I learned the hard way that it is illegal to do this in WV from a vehicle. We were going past my grandfather's farm where I hunted and past my buddy's farm, videoing the deer at night. The lights came on behind us and it was the game warden. We were put out on front of the vehicle with our hands on the hood while he called a cop for backup and thoroughly searched my truck and questioned each of us separately. I think he had a hard time believing that we weren't actually trying to kill anything. Apparently someone had been shooting deer at night and one of the neighbors had called him on it a few days prior. We ended up getting fined $361 each. It was a perfect example that ignorance of the law is no excuse. I can't blame him for dong his job, but that really put me in a bummed out mood the rest of that season.
