Hunting "wildlife" at night legal.

- An accusation charging the defendant with the "offense of misdemeanor hunting at night with aid of lights: for that the said accused . . . did unlawfully hunt wildlife at night with aid of lights" was deficient, since one may admit hunting wildlife at night with aid of a light and still be innocent of any criminal activity. Manley v. State, 187 Ga. App. 773, 371 S.E.2d 438, cert. denied, 187 Ga. App. 908, 371 S.E.2d 438 (1988).

Deer hunting at night.

- Hunting deer at night with the aid of lights is a violation of O.C.G.A. § 27-3-2. Manley v. State, 187 Ga. App. 773, 371 S.E.2d 438, cert. denied, 187 Ga. App. 908, 371 S.E.2d 438 (1988).

Conviction for separate offenses.

- Where defendants hunted from a motor vehicle on a public road at night using a light exceeding six volts, it was not error to convict them of the three separate crimes of hunting at night, hunting on a public road and hunting from a motor vehicle. Sanford v. State, 169 Ga. App. 769, 315 S.E.2d 281 (1984).

Fingerprinting not required.

- Offense arising from a violation of O.C.G.A. § 27-3-2 does not appear to be an offense for which fingerprinting is required. 2010 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 10-6.
