Laser on a crossbow?

[Vermiform]

Is it legal to hunt HOGS at night on private land with a crossbow equiped with a laser sight? Can I put a frickin laser beam on my sausage shooter? Can't find anything about hunting with a laser sight unless its a deer, in which case it is a No Go.

Personally I wouldn't see why you couldn't... It's private land and I think hogs are open season year round on public land right?

I thought the book says you cant use laser or night vision for any game. I thought it was under general firearm guidlines. I may be wrong though I havent looked at it this year.

Not legal to hunt anything a night in Louisiana except racoon with a singleshot .22

RS 56:116.1
B. No person shall do any of the following:
(4) Take or kill any game bird or wild quadruped with a bow or crossbow or other archery equipment, which is equipped with an infrared or laser sight or any sighting device which projects a beam of light to the target or otherwise electronically illuminates the target.

OK, so no laser sight. Is a spotlight ok as long as it is not connected to the bow?

no hunting at night allowed, besides racoon

Hogs are not considered game animals so it is a gray area.
