Spotlighting safety
Hunting with a spotlight is only permitted on private land with permission from the landholder.
Shooting under a spotlight is a necessary task that assists landholders with pest animal control. Using a spotlight at night to locate animals and hold them in the light is a very efficient and effective means of reducing problem animals. When shooting in a team, using a driver, a shooter and a spotlight operator, is an effective method that gives the shooter more time to:
- assess if a safe shot presents itself
- positively identify the target
- ensure they deliver an accurate and humane kill shot.
