I am not currently involved in night shooting and am only speaking of prior experience.
However, surely if a growing crop of timber is getting significant damage year after year, then night shooting would not be an unreasonable option as part of an ongoing deer management programme?
Fortunately, I think that most recreational stalkers, myself included, are in the fortunate position of managing deer on land where current land use and type of habitat allows effective control of numbers by utilising traditional stalking methods.
It would be a sad day indeed if night shooting was available to all if the comprehensive and exhaustive process involved in obtaining a licence at present was not in place.
