    Tussock, look I have some strong views on spotlighting, and let's just say that I am concerned with what is around and behind the "target". In daylight, you hopefully have a reasonable chance of confirming a safe firing zone. You know, the where does the bullet go if I miss part. At night, using a spotlight, unless you are EXTREMELY familiar with the area you are shooting, personally I would not pull a trigger or let rip with an arrow. People camp all over the place on DOC land...

    Bottom line is you need to evaluate the risk and ask yourself if it is worth it. In my book it is not...

    Comparing your house (? in a rural area) where you know exactly where your neighbours are etc, to public DOC land is two very different situations...
