There has been a tremendous change in the spot lighting laws in Washington in the past few decades.
Until a few years ago being in a area where there were deer, with a light, and a fire arm was prima facie evidence of spot lighting.
The Elokia Lake road south of Elokia lake in Spokane county, a mile west of the lake, used to bend to the right. Any person driving that road and making the right hand turn, there lights shined the alfalfa field. This field always had deer at night. If a person stopped or drove slowly so there lights would shine up the deer, was taking a chance of getting stopped by a game protector, as they were known then. If you had a fire arm you would be written. A case made in that field, under those conditions, went to the state supreme court and the person found guilty of spot lighting. The basis of the prima facie evidence ruling. In those years a game protector was exempt from state tresspassing laws when in the preformace of there duty.
These laws have changed but still people remember them.
