I would like to use a Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 Rifle Scope that has an illuminated dot in the center of the reticle. Would I be able to hunt coyote with that optic? I was able to find the answer for big game, but not for predatory coyotes.
Answer:
Yes, “red dot” sights are legal to hunt coyotes as well as big game animals. In 2007 the commission adopted a rule change that allowed the use of lighted reticles to aid those with poor eye sight. The rule reads it is unlawful to pursue or kill big game animals: With any electronic device attached to, or incorporated in, the firearm (including handguns and shotguns) or scope; EXCEPT scopes containing battery powered or tritium lighted reticles are allowed.
