I have heard from a few folks that it is perfectly legal to spotlight at night in NM as long as there are no weapons in the car.
I just chatted with a game and fish officer about my unit for this year, and he told me that while it is legal, he recommends strongly that I dont do it. He said that if they saw us doing it, they would pull us out of the car at gunpoint and handcuff us until they searched the vehicle.
That just seemed rather extreme to me, although I get thats how people poach at night. But Im not the one making the laws. Is it legal to even do that?
Any people run into this while in NM?
