All parks in New England area are posted No Trespassing after dark, park closed from dusk to dawn, etc. Night hunting on public property is definately out of the question. As for individuals who use their position of authority for personal gain (I know it happens too often), but it isn't right and it's a violation of the Code of Ethics for public officials. If a law applies to the citizen, then a person of authority should respect the law and not use their position to get extra privileges.
There are certain things that irk me and that is one of them. I had an incident years ago at a National Seashore. I saw a guy metal detecting on the beach. I started metal detecting and was promptly told to leave. When I asked about the other guy, I was told He's a park ranger, so it's alright. I wrote quite a few letters complaining about abuse of authority. To no avail, I might add.
Now, back to the original question, FatNakedGuy, night hunting is only ok if the parks are not posted with the aforementioned signs.
