i should really take a hunting class. i just learned in my state that it's illegal to use any artificial light to observe or harass wildlife past 11pm, even if it's on your own property

so like literally shining a flashlight at some noise after 11pm in the woods is illegal because they were trying to deal with night hunting which is like so much less of a safety problem now with nods imo

but like if i'm camping then it's technically illegal to shine my flashlight in the woods after 11pm if there happens to be an animal doing something, like perhaps making noise??????????

just because someone could end up shooting a gun?
what????
