Yea i do when i decide to wake up early enough to go. There is too much going on around here right after dark so the deer dont come out till around 2am but if i go right at daylight i usually see alot of deer.

We do it at our hunting camp . Just make sure there are no firarms with us. It helps us locate some monsters so we can get a crack at them in day light. I know most of them are nocturnal because we dont see many of them during the day lol. The kids love to go out and see deer at night as well.

we really try not to, especially during the season
it puts more pressure on the deer than what needs to be put on them

When my dad and i would come down the river after doin walleye fishing on Lake Erie, it would always be pitch black and we used his like 50 million candlepower light to come down the river because that river is a death trap at night and we'd see EVERYthing it was so cool.

Its illegal here in illinois even to shine deer which kinda sucks it would help with scouting i would think.
