its perfectly legal depending on what your hunting and what season your hunting. im assuming your talking about gun mounted lights on a rifle? either way handgun or rifle yes its legal
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

I'm interested in this too.  I work nights quite a bit, and sometimes get off around 1 am.  Too early to head out hunting, (without a light)but too late to get any sleep before going out hunting....

Got home this morning at 5, and would've liked to make a set out behind the house.  Actually could see pretty well with the moon, but not well enough to go calling.
Work to live, don't live to work.

You can educate away ignorance, sober up drunkenness, but you can't fix stupid.

I tried gun mounted lights and do not like them. I prefer to night hunt with a partner and use a hand held light.

Nite Lite coon hunting head lamps come with a barrel clip to mount the head under the barrel. Works great with a scope. If your using a barrel light with a scope mount it under the barrel.

If I were to do more night hunting next winter I would probably consider giving the Primos scope mounted lights a try. . .they have a couple of different intensities available and they all come with red filters. . .if they don't work oh well. . .it would be worth a try as I thought the hand held light was cumbersome this past winter. . .but I was hunting solo as well. . .
