Schoolrooms now, busy with

special interest groups are gearing

Past interest in education by

Spotlighting
after
midnight
unlawful
HARRISBURG - All
Pennsylvanians are
reminded by the Game
Commission that the
practice of spotlighting
after midnight is
unlawful.
Although the
spotlighting restriction
has been part of the
Game Law for more
than a decade, ap
parently some persons
are still not aware of the
limitation.
Many persons, non
hunters as well as
hunters, engage in
spotlighting activities,
especially during the
fall months. It is an
especially pleasurable
pastime for parents
who want their
youngsters to see and
enjoy wildlife, and for
hunters who are trying
to located a big buck
before the opening of the
season.
But all are reminded
that while the practice
is permissible up until
midnight, it is illegal to
do so between midnight
and sunrise.
It is also illegal at
anytime to spotlight big
game with a firearm or
bow and arrow in the
. vehicle, or to cast a
light’s beam on a
building.
In recent years there
has been increasing
criticism from the
agricultural and urban
communities about
spotlights used by un
thinking persons around
homes and farm
buildings. Spotlighting
stirs up domestic
animals and livestock,
and often disturbs the
sleep of rural residents.
Unpleasant situations
can be avoided if
spotlighters simply
mind their manners and
obey the law while using
artificial lights.
