Not missing any meals either.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Wow, I hope you have a big back yard. That looks like a pretty good sized pet eater to me (by pet I mean all things furry  :chuckle:). Cool pictures anyway.

Reviewing the regs Pg 74
"2013 -2014 Official Hunting hours for Game animals and Forest grouse"

"Pg 78 Hunting Big game with the aid of an artificial light or spotlight is prohibited" so with the exception of the shooting hours restriction I can't see why if you have a light gathering scope on a bright moonlit night with snow on the ground you couldn't.

Except we have a bunch of city slickers that are afraid to go out after dark without a light and put restrictions on everyone, apparently they have never been out on a bright full moon night with snow on the ground with a light gathering scope
