That last comment about the helicopters sounds as if it comes from personal experience?

Um.....just for the record.....I hunt coyotes and fox and all I have is an old fashion electric coal miners light I use. I am glad thats all the light that is required too. I have never wanted or had to spotlight a fox or coyote.....Once you hunt in the dark for an hour you will be surprised at how well you can see. I always hunt them the week before and after full moons and always have had great luck. My suggestion is to listen to internet recorded calls and learn them in the comfort of your home then, go out and try your luck...don't waste spooking everything in the woods with a light and a call that you don't know....I use a rabbit whistle only. Usually get setup and then give 2 or 3 distress whistles and wait 30 min or more before calling again. I am not recommending using a spotlight on them, it may be legal but, quite frankly, it's not needed

OH and the spotlight anything you want other than neighbors window is wrong too... You can't spotlight livestock either. Or at least I don't think you can. I don't spot for yotes from a car and wouldn't recomend it if you have a weapon on you and think that you can spot then stop and get out to pursue the yote to kill it. Only bad things can happen if you are spotting from a car with a weapon in the car. Or at least in my area they will bust you bigger than life... My question is that you can call yotes in the field and then spot them for the shot right? And I just came into posession of a night scope and was wondering if I could just use it to shoot yotes? ? You can hunt them at night right? BB
