What is considered spotlighting?
According to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, spotlighting is shining any artificial light source to assist in the taking of wildlife. ARS 17-301 states that a person shall not take any wildlife using a jacklight or any other artificial light. Commission rules allow exceptions for raccoons, nongame mammals and birds, aquatic wildlife, and reptiles. Please be advised that spotlighting regulations are currently under review and may be changed in the near future to be more restrictive.
