RE: Do you follow ALL hunting regulations?
Start and Stop times are a litte on the short side. I can still see ver well 30 minutes pos sunset, so I guess I push that one. I also bend the Flo orange rule on the military base I hunt during ML season. I wear it in and wear it out but as soon as I get 20' up a tree it comes off and goes in the pack. I still have quick access to it if I see someone coming. I will pull it out and wave it to get their attention.

I believe myself to be an honest, ethical and responsible hunter.
How is that for an answer to your question?
I may go into politics in the future....

I guess I' m guilty of the time rule also, some of my stands take at least a hour to get to and I like to be in the stand 30 minutes before daylight so whats a guy to do.
Does anyone know where I can get a stealth flashlight

Rac hunter you need a dark light!! yea Ct is sunset ever since that CO a few years ago got shot. There pretty hot on enforcement to if they can find ya. Worse with a gun since they can hear the shot and time it. A CO went sneeking up on a hunter after it was pretty dark. The court found the CO at fault NO ORANGE as he was required to have. Rhode Island last year a guy shot and killed his kid.

If the light is right I will admit I probably stretch it, there is one other I have actually broken a few times, I have killed a number of deer that crossed the property line after I shot them, not by far though, there has never been anyone else around and I have just grabbed the horns and drug him back over the line and field dressed them. Is it right? No, but I am not willing to leave a deer lay for possibly hours finding the neighboring land owner or a GW when in 30 seconds I can pull the deer back where I shot it and dress it. I have a feeling there are quite a few folks here who have done this.

I don' t know.... what are the rules/laws?
OK, so I take off my orange once I get in a tree when bowhunting during muzzleloader and firearms season. I may have fudged the shooting time a minute or two but I usually quit when I can' t see my pins clearly.
