My headlamp runs of 18650 so yeah high beams all the way, but as long as you're walking home and unloaded, you'll be fine. Half of it is retarded laws, the other is hunters perpetuating folklore.
Correct, straight off the gma web site.
"Possession of a spotlight and firearm
when on foot
Hunters on foot in recognised deer habitat between
30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise
in recognised deer habitat can carry an artificial light
(e.g. torch or headlamp) for on-foot navigation purposes
as long as:
• the firearm and magazine is unloaded – this means
that all cartridges must be removed from the
firearm and any magazine.
• ammunition is stored in a closed case or container
– this could include a backpack or cartridge case.
• any artificial light is not fitted to the firearm or
fixture attached to the firearm – no light can be
fitted to any part of the firearm or a scope or
other fitting attached to the firearm.:
People also have a habit of not reading all the info. Just read bits and interpret it wrong.
