Here, and in most places I’ve hunted in the East, legal hours for deer begin and end 30 minutes either side of dawn and dusk. Most scopes will get it done in the open, but in the timber it gets dicey even well inside the legal limits. Lights, NV, thermal, etc are generally not legal options, again for deer and other game. Yotes and other varmints are different, although in WV, bobcats can't be taken under the lights like yotes, foxes, and the other minor predators, for reasons they don't explain.
No piggies here just yet, but they're comin’! Get closer every year, courtesy of misguided transplant efforts by dumbazzes. Not sure I’ll still be in the game by the time they do, but it’ll be interesting to see how the DNR handles the opportunities.
