Ever heard of anyone trying this out? And if so were they successful? I wonder if it is hard to get off a shot w/ that hardware on your face.

Welcome to the site Jerry!!![up] Thats the first I heard of it! When and what are they hunting for with it?[confused]

 

[jerry6374]

Bowhunting deer.

 

[jerry6374]

sometimes its a pain in the [no swearing please] to get out after work w/ 1 hr left of light and in the morning b4 work. So, there is a lot of activity at night, kids and wife are asleep, therefore its a good time to go out and play.

 

[JerseyJim]

I think there might be some legal issues with that?!?! Actually They call that POACHING NOT HUNTING! It's done by Poachers NOT Hunters!

 

[jerry6374]

just a thought

 

[DBuck]

Sniff sniff..smell that?I smell something fishy about this post.

 

[JerseyJim]

Just wrote down the same thing D!

 

[jerry6374]

Paranoia, It's a horrible thing.

 

[Jex99in00]

What about Coyotes?

 

[hkdonfishn]

PLAIN AND SIMPLE ILLEGAL[down][down] You will not find a ethical hunter out there that would use Night vision for hunting.

 

[GunnyFern]

a nightvision scope mounted on a rifle used for hunting it is unethical, however a handheld unit used for scouting that is a different thing. state frowns on spotlighting, specially being a LEO I always carry a sidearm with me. A big no-no spotlight and a weapon "anything capable of killing a deer" includes a handgun.
however using a handheld nightvision unit to check out fields at night is an option.

 

[luknikk]

spotlighting deer is legal as long as there is NO weapon in your vehicle ,on you or near you.In this state.

 

[jerseyhunter]

paranoia, It's a horrible thing.

So is making your first post on the board about poaching. Not even an introduction.[down]

 

[wojtowicza]

this isn't a good way to start on here. this is poaching. plain and simple.[down]

 

[Matty]

Jerry, that would be illegal. You're gonna have to find the time to get out in the woods Mon-Sat like everyone else. No night hunting, unless you want to chase coyotes around February (special night-time season) Not sure what the regulations are regarding night vision with that though.

By the way, are you new to hunting, or is this some kind of joke?[confused]

 

[Scrubby rack buck]

(Sniffs bait)---> swims away.

 

[Dawgs]

you can only use nightvision to hunt if you are also using electronic calls...and the weapon you have is a fully automatic rifle or a crossbow or grenades

 

[GunnyFern]

Gunny,,,, Certain state's Spot Lighting deer is illegal.... Some state's will let you do it during certain hour's for recreational purpose's and other's do not let you do it period......

Like I said since I always carry a weapon, I won't use spotlighting as a scouting tool since NJ says u cannot have anything in the vehicle capable of killing a deer. Out west several outfitters I hunted with, use nightvision monoculars to scout the fields at night and to get a look at what type of deer are in the area.
Hunting with nightvision is unethical plain and simple. let's just change the name from hunting to slaughtering then.[down]

I think Starlight Scopes are legal for predators in NYS if you can afford one
