I dont think it has been awnsered if it's legal to hunt at night in the other roll call pose so i thought i would ask. does anyone know if it's legal to call yotes, foxes at night with a spotlight in Montana?

The way I've always understood it, Predators and Non-Game are OK (same with electric callers) But Not Fur Bearers or Big Game of course.
 
I just got done looking through all of the regulations and it does not state anything about night hunting or spotlighting for non-game animals. It clearly states in the regulations that it is unlawful to use a spotlight or night vision in the taking of game animals. Coyotes, weasel, skunk, badger, raccoon, red fox, hares, rabbits, ground squirrels, marmots, tree squirrels and porcupines fall under the classification of predador and nongame species. So I would conclude that it is not unlawful in the state of Montana to spotlight or night hunt in any regard for predator and nongame species.
If you find any regulations,laws, ect. that state otherwise then I would like to know also.
Thanks.
 
Best practice = get land owner permission in writing and make sure you let them know when / where you plan on hunting. Also let the local law and the border patrol know where you are going hunting . . . lest you get many MANY unwanted visits during your stands. Apparently, waving a bright, red light in circles out in the middle of nowhere attracts attention. Just my experience . . .
Oh, don't forget to wear a helmet if you're hunting anywhere near an owl . . .
