This comes right out of the Indiana Hunting Regs. on page 13 under Hunting Furbearers.
"A continuously burning light that can be seen for at least 500 ft must be carried while pursuing furbeareres between sunset and sunrise."

Sorry, I was looking for a definition you won't find in a handbook Mahone.
Darkness, as it pertains to this discussion of night vision, is affected by ambient light. The times he was describing were EXTREMLY dark, while just hours earlier you would've had the ambient assistance of a 3/4 moon with clear skies and hours later you would've had a rising sun. I know because I was hunting and filming during some of those very times; I pay close attention to the moon rise/set and phase. It's crucial to night hunting, with or without NV.
Thanks for the input Mahone, if the discussion DOES turn to cookie-cutter regulations we know who to find.

i coyote hunted not to far from ft wayne and if theres a snow on and cloudy skies I can shoot 150 yds or more using a day scope. the clouds reflect the lights of the city which lights up the country side and theres enough light to see my cross hairs. with certain weather conditions some times you don't need shooting lights or night vision. h.h.

Can't see the expense when you have to carry a light visible to the naked eye at 500 feet between sunset and daybreak.
