We spotlight a lot on our own land just checking out the population of deer and coyotes. Its legal to hunt with a shotgun own our own land for varmits with a spotlight. Its a no no anytime during deer season. We got stoped one night during deer season looking for a cow that didn't come in. Lucky for us there were no guns in the pickup gun rack since it was our land and we didn't have a gun they didn't bother us. Just checking to see what we were doing.
