Gerd, yes game wardens do hunt the hunters in situations when deer poaching is involved. We had several techniques that involved "baiting" the hunter.; primitive but effective.Today the wardens use night vision equipment, aerial patrols and artificial deer (also moose and bear ,)made of styrofoam and are able to remotely move the head and tail. They are quite effective in luring poachers into taking a shot. Some would call it entrapment I suppose. I would call it good law enforcement but I am biased.
Packard V8 I would suspect that a black out light attached to a battery would work as a "jack light." Most amateur night hunters use very powerful spotlights which can be seen for miles on dark nights. I am pretty sure some of the long time residents in the hills of Tennessee have perfected deer poaching at night to a science. The ones I have met sure we're first class bear hunters.
