Crazy idiots got pulled over by the cops on their return to the city and when confronted with the cops accusing them of: DWI, illegal hunting, use of a firearm while intoxicated, along with a host of other charges; these nuts enquired how the cop had deduced they had been hunting illegally.
Cops answer: "well, the blood trail left by the gutted deer hanging off your rear ladder was my first clue".  |
If people could not hunt at night, thousands would starve to death during Alaska's winter. Artificial lighting is allowed in Alaska from November 1, through March 31. Barrow, Alaska, experiences about 89 days of complete darkness, when the sun does not rise, during the Winter.
