May I ask why he was not using one of those new fangled 3.5 million candlepower spotlights? I have been thinking of pickin' one up myself. One can never have too much light for spotting.
(Spotlighting in PA is legal before 11 pm.)
Cause it's illegal in IL...
It's a.o.k. to run a sharpened stick through their gizzard, just don't "harrass" them...
As for the deer, there's been a "monster" spotted in that territory every year, but never by me, and typically not during hunting hours. Typical.
