>>Coach..... technically your right about not needing a permit to take photos, but if your out there spotlighting your technically hunting, so just be safe and get the permit!



This is where the law is just plain muddy...you don't need a permit/license to birdwatch or take pictures of wildflowers (even goatsuckers/nighthawks or night-blooming cacti), so why would you need one for taking pictures of snakes at night? The "muddy" part comes from the poor wording of the definition of "hunt" to include "pursue." If they consider you to be "hunting" by shining a cut, then they'd be technically correct to issue a citation. It's MADNESS!
