Great point. Pest animals (not game animals, including deer, duck, Stubble Quail or other game birds) can be hunted at night with spotlights on private property and some public land that is not recognised deer habitat. The trouble is that what is and isn't considered a "recognised deer habitat" isn't super clear or easy for the public to learn. Technically you can hunt pest animals (non-indigenous species) including rabbits, hares, foxes, pigs, goats, feral cats and wild dogs in state forest/crown land with a spot light at night, but it can't be in a "recognised deer habitat". So when it comes to deer hunting, you can only legally spot light them on private property. Great question, thank you for helping me clarify this.

I know that deer scatt is slimy when fresh but how long does it take for it to loose the slime? Was the deer there 10mins ago or hours?

Ah good to know, I'll check them out now and update them.

Hmmm, I've had a look through the videos and all the links seem to be working for me. Can you remember which one didn't work?

@@Thehuntsmanshow When I watched video 4, I couldn't click the link through to video 2. Same when I watched video 2 - the link to video 3 didn't work. I was on my iPad so maybe that was the issue.
