Kept it the same
Change legal hours and make spotlighting illegal
Keep legal hours, but make spotlighting illegal
I still want to spotlight deer no matter the legal hours
I’m indifferent
if you read this thread, you will be told its not illegal....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
You people spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about the diarrhea that spews from the minds of bored politicians...
What do you mean JAB?
How does that or “worry” that others mention pertain to this discussion?
For a moment I thought I had stepped back to circa 2001 and the old SCDNR Forum.

I don't really have a problem with a bow hunter using a light to assure a good shot in poor light on a deer that's already in range. I think the unethical use of a light is when it is used to locate deer.
What I mean is that Sportsmen lobbied to have SCMWRD created at the turn of the century to get a handle on poaching and over harvest by a small, but very effective subset of hunters. Look what all that begat. They turn a blind eye to rubberheads shooting ducks over live decoys twice a week, but are going to write you up for flashlighting a deer with your bow? Respect the resource, don't take more than the resource will bear, and don't sweat the bullshit...
For what its worth....I remember hunting a midlands state forest and talking with the game warden there and he told me he had some guys using red lights on thier bows and he was looking for them. He said he was going to "throw them under the jail" when he caught them. Dont know the outcome...
Wait……….its illegal to shoot a deer at night with a spotlight? Oops!
No, it is commonplace and legal in South Carolina. Carry on.
