Are we considered hunting with aide of light tracking deer after dark?
Those other questions are a big concern and can be different from each Warden.


Michigan just passed a law this year that allows their trackers to legally track and dispatch deer at night without there being any gray area……The only catch to it is that they have to call in at the start and finish of every track…..That seems like a bit much for both sides unless you had some automated service that would let you ping in to give the wardens a heads up on night tracks. I could see that being a reasonable middle ground….There’s no need in every tracker having to call in and out on every track though….I don’t think anyone want to keep up with that.
