Reading page 15 of the DNR regs and it is unclear if you can use a spotlight. Hunting is legal during nighttime but only mentions having a light burning (safety reasons) that is visible for least 500 feet.

Yes, you can use a spotlight to hunt coon, opossum and predators...and actually rabbits too as I learned here a while back!  |

we used to hunt rabbits at night on a full moon with snow pack...no light needed. Make sure you have your hunter orange though  |

you'll find more coon (and other game) with a red lense cover. they'll stare right at ya where as with a white light they will often shy and look away from it.

In coon hunting the spot light is used to shine the tree to locate the coon. Sometimes an older coon will not look at a light, no matter if you have a lens(pop) cover on or not, so you light up the tree with the spot light to expose the coon's body.
