"I saw 7 the other night with the spotlight...killed one...no cats though"

Hmmm didn't think night hunting was legal this time of the year?

wannahunt:
Lots of them in the dunes around Potholes. We camped out there in the islands one night and it was hard to sleep with all the noise. They were all around us.

Kent Hunter:
You can spotlight at night during established bobcat and raccoon seasons. Except that you CANNOT spotlight them during the months of September, October or November in any areas that are open to a centerfire rifle deer or elk season.
 We do this very thing every year and let me tell you, it is a absolute BLAST!! We killed sixtythree songdogs last year and fiftyone of them were taken at night using a spotlight. The cover of darkness seems to make them alot less cautious. It surprises us that we never have seen anyone else out doing the same thing when we are.
 What started us hunting them this way was that three of us went down to Texas on a tree day varmit hunt a few years back and they hunt strictly at night on these hunts. When we got back home we checked out our game laws and found that it was perfectly legal to do the same thing here. We use a red or yellow filter on the spotlight as this seems to not affect them as much as a straight white light when they are coming in. Give it a try fellows. It's a HOOT!!

Blacklab:
hey kent how do you spot them? Do you keep the light on at all times and call them into the light or what. I never hunted at night b4 thanx

Kent Hunter:
We call for fifteen or twenty mins and then scan with the light and try to pick up some "eyes". That is our system. Some others might do it differently.
