Hunting coyotes and foxes in California is only permissible on private hunting grounds if the owner permits it. Hunting is prohibited in some public locations. Although night vision is permitted, any electronic viewing device that employs infrared or light-amplifying circuitry is forbidden. Night hunting is legal in Colorado. It is not legal in Wisconsin nor West Virginia where it is banned statewide. Shooting deer in the dark is illegal in most states because they assume you are trying to protect your property from damage or loss and killing these animals unnecessarily violates this principle. However, some hunters do use headlamps and lasers on their vehicles during nighttime hunts to help find their prey. These devices are allowed under state law in some states so long as you follow certain regulations (for example, you cannot point them at other people's headlights). In general, if you are out hunting at night then you should carry a flashlight. The more powerful the better since it will allow you to see further away. Be careful not to shine the beam of your light into others' eyes though since this is also against the law in some states. There are three ways to legally kill a deer: with a rifle, shotgun, or crossbow. If you want to be sure not to break any laws, then a licensed hunter should be able to guide you through the process.
