Not a hunter. But on the .22 thing is it because of the noise and time? In a case like this Would someone be poaching for money or just because they do not care to be licensed?
This a typical Mass. Div of Fakers and Wankers "just in case law" If you read the section of law in regards to night hunting. You will see the thinking process.I'm not sure if this is the reason or not, but some people have stated that they think it might have to do with deer poachers. If you could hunt coyote at night with a shotgun or larger caliber rifle, deer poachers could just say they're coyote hunting if stopped and questioned, assuming they don't have a carcass in their possession.
Other than that, your guess is as good as mine.

And regards to hunting with aid of artificial light...One of the rules of gun safety is to identify your target. Tough to identify your target if you can’t see it.
You need a crossbow permit to hunt with oneThey should have used crossbows
You can hunt with a shotgun at night but it's a joke can't use anything larger than FF shot(.23) which doesn't exist.I'm not sure if this is the reason or not, but some people have stated that they think it might have to do with deer poachers.

You can use artificial light when hunting raccoon and opossum. Fox, coyote and rabbit are other game animals that can be hunted at night, but not with the aid of artificial light. Makes sense.
You lost me. What makes sense?
It's friggin rediculous for an invasive nuisance species to have so many regulations especially all the most recent changes to appease the bleeding heart libtardsYeah, I thought of the shotgun part after I posted it. Either way, deciphering all the parts of the regs and the reasoning behind them are difficult at best.
That is the issue of many of the Regulations that the Div. of Fakers and Wankers have. You wouldn't believe how many bad regulations that they have. The people that have run that agency have their heads so far up their rectum that they need glass stomachs to see where they are going. Just remember the "Rattle Snake Guy".You lost me. What makes sense?
Gotcha!Exactly.
Poaching is a Law Enforcement issue, not a biologist issue. Their job is to "Manage" the wildlife, making just in case, feel good regulations is not "Wildlife Management"I think most people even non hunters agree these laws are stupid, I think they have more to do with preventing deer poaching.
What recent changes?It's friggin rediculous for an invasive nuisance species to have so many regulations especially all the most recent changes to appease the bleeding heart libtards
Wanton waste, tagging & contest banWhat recent changes?
Gotta wonder how this guy got caught. I am thinking a neighbor turned him in.
