            As stated above, axis are legal at nite, but be very careful shining a light during deer season. You will have an impossible time convincing the game warden!

              Good point. If you're going to drive & spotlight, might want to call your GW ahead of time this time of year just to let him know what you're doing. If sitting at a stand with a stabilizer light or something like that, wouldn't worry about it.

                Is it illegal to have my hawg lite on my bow while on the stand? I would never shoot a deer using it but could sit and kill hogs after the deer hunt.

                  artificial light is not illegal as long as you are hunting non game animals. hogs, rabbits, exotics.

                  Good luck.

                    You must have landowner permission to hunt any exotics at night. There is a possible felony theft of livestock with out permission.

                          I have asked this question myself. If I'm dragging out a deer after dark with a light on my bow and the GW sees me, I bet he's going to have a funny look on his face.
