The team members shown above, first row Illegal hunters take many deer The deer season has been over for several weeks, but big game hunting continues—ille gally at night. Spotlighters, jacklighters or whatever name they are called are enemies, not only of the South Carolina Wildlife Resour ces Department, but of every honest hunter and South Caro linian. A spotlighter is an outlaw who hunts deer at night using a light, taking an unfair ad vantage of a great game ani mal. The spotlighter gets way- and-beyond his fair share of the deer making him a thief of the worst kind, because he steals from all. Preventing this activity is difficult, but a surprisingly suc cessful effort by the Law En forcement Division of the Wild life Resources Department is paying dividends. Spotting these illegal hunters from the air is proving to be a successful technique in ccm- batting night hunting, according to Gene Howell, chief of law enforcement for the department. Flowe Trexler, conservation officer-pilot, said “Since we’ve been flying night patrols, we’ve caught a lot of spotlighters.” Trexler flies at about 4000 feet on these patrols and says he can even see someone smok ing a cigarette. “Once we see them,” he added, “They can’t get away.” Trexler and Officer Alvin Poston, also a pilot, fly fre quent patrols in search of ille gal hunters, rescue operations, and other law enforcement pro blems. Their efforts are coor dinated with ground forces. Last year 96 of these villians were apprehended and prose cuted. Together they forfeited $8,438 in fines, not counting confiscation of vehicles, guns, lights and other paraphernalia used in these hunts. It’s an expensive proposition for any night hunter. According to Howell, the pu blic’s help is needed. “If we get a report on night hunting we investigate it right away and a good deal of the time this leads to an arrest,” he said. With the public’s coope ration spotlighting could be eliminated, Howell stressed. “If somebody calls us on a night hunter, we go. Most of my men had rather go after a night hunter than hunt rab bits,” the chief added. According to the Game and Fish Laws of South Carolina, “There shall be no night hunt ing in this state except for rac coons, opossums, foxes, mink and skunk, and these may not be hunted with lights attached to the head or otherwise at- ached to the body.” The law goes on to state a penalty of $200 fine or 60 days in jail upon conviction. Deer hunters caught at night lose all equipment at the site. Chances are if you see a mov ing light in the woods at night, it is an illegal hunter, killing deer. If you see one, call your local conservation officer listed under “state government” in the yellow pages of your tele phone book. Road mishaps take heavy toll South Carolinians suffered an economic loss of 113,000,000 dur ing 1970 as a result of traffic accidents, according to the South Carolina Highway Depart ment. In a summary of traffic ac cidents, injuries and deaths, the Department reported 1,033 deaths, 19,761 injuries and 67,- 362 accidents during 1970. The economic loss based on these figures averaged $310,000 a day or $12,900 for every hour of the year. While the state’s death rate per 100 million miles of travel decreased slightly, from 6.4 in 1969 to 6.2 in 1970, the number of deaths increased from 996 in 1969 to 1,033 in 1970, an increase of 3.7 per cent.
