i was up there from Wed before the opener at 6 miles or so above 29 pines on N Fork road, we hadnt seen a buck one at all the whole time, we stoed all out firearms in a locked trailer and we all piled in a vehicle with extremely bright lights, then headed out for some spotlighting fun so we could locate the areas they bedded down in (and plan our following days hunt), the only bucks we seen the whole time were lying with their bitches after dark, hell one Doe (so i thought) came crashing down the river full speed, stopped at our campfire and laughed at us and mosied on down river and jumped in the brush.Next morning i went to inspect its hoof prints and it too was a antlerless buck, But it had to be a weird one, it was too big to be a yearling the size of the animal showed it had to be atleast 3 years old, but there were no antlers at all.thinking back now, i bet it was injured in the nards and something happened to its antlers.
Not trying to police or anything I'm just curious if its legal to spotlight during hunting season? The way read the regs its not but that would be cool if it was when I was younger we did it a lot saw some really cool stuff

not to spill the beans but teanaway has been a tuff place to hunt the last 5 years.I know a lot of locals that live on teanaway river road and they say that the bucks only hang out LOW LOW in the private fields etc.this is the first year in the last 5 that i have not hunted near red top for general modern. Lets just say i saw more deer at my new place driving into our spot than i saw in the last 5 years in teanaway. My buddy killed this nice buck in 2006, but since then i think our whole camp saw 1 or two does.combination of wolves, cougars and just a ton of hunting i think has killed the higher elevations of teanaway.
they call it harrassment
