Is it Legal to Spotlight Deer in North Carolina as Long as I Don't Have a Weapon in My Vehicle?

In North Carolina, spotlighting deer is illegal under General Statute 113-136(a), which states that "It shall be unlawful to hunt or attempt to hunt any deer or bear with artificial light at any time or with any weapon in a vehicle during the closed season for taking such wildlife." This law applies even if you do not have a weapon in your vehicle when you are spotlighting deer.

The reason for this law is to prevent poaching and to protect deer populations. Spotlighting can disorient deer and make them easy targets for hunters. It can also disrupt their natural behavior and make them more vulnerable to predators.

If you are caught spotlighting deer in North Carolina, you could be charged with a misdemeanor and face fines and jail time. You could also lose your hunting privileges.
