I live in Tennessee which doesn't allow night time hunting for predators. Just wondering if anyone could tell me what would be the closest state to Tennessee that allows night time hunting.

I want to plan a late winter trip, but don't even know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.

I know TX does, and CO with a permit. Nevada too I think Check their regs.

Good advice from YD above. Many states have their regulations available online. In fact, Liberty Press, which does much of the hard-copy printing of regs, sees online regs as the only way to learn the rules in the near future. Some states have already cut out the printing expenses and are only online now.

Michigan allows night hunting but only with rimfires.

Alaska allows the use of artifical light under trapping regs. only.

www.huntnfishregs.com this is a pretty good website to go to online to find out different state regulations.

well i can tell ya after a long long long night of research, i have found that in nebraska, you may use a light at night for coyotes, as long as it is used while hunting a foot, and can not be hooked to or used out of a motor vehicle. and if your a resident of nebraska, no licenses is required at all, and nonresident just needs a hunting license

West Virginia allows night hunting during Jan. 1 thru July 31 using either green, amber, or red artificial light and shotguns with #4 shot or smaller and rimfire rifles or handguns of .22 caliber or smaller. As others have stated the regs are online for WV at www.wvdnr.gov. Good luck to ya....

[ReidRH]

MS Did But I hear they are trying to change it!!

[Stonegod]

Ohio allows night hunting when they're in season and there're regs during deer firearms seasons. As for yotes they're open all year long day or night and any weapon you wish....if it's legal to own you can use it.....except during deer firearms seasons. Same goes for hogs.

I love WY...go out there every yearwith a buddy for DIY hunting!!!! bringing dog toys this year to hopefully have some fun with the coyotes after we fill our antelope tags. that makes up the first 6 days...then it's off to nebraska for 3 days for the first time hunting yotes there..cant wait to see the sand hills on foot!! gonna be a blast! and now that i know you can hunt at night...makes it even better!
