Night vision laws are just as stupid as proposed gun laws.

97B.086 POSSESSION OF NIGHT VISION OR THERMAL IMAGING EQUIPMENT.
(a) A person may not possess night vision or thermal imaging equipment while taking wild animals or while having in possession, either individually or as one of a group of persons, a firearm, bow, or other implement that could be used to take wild animals.

If they didn’t have the laws people would poach deer.

We should just post a sign on every tree indicating that poaching deer is not allowed.
