It is illegal to hunt deer and elk with the aid of infrared night vision equipment or with laser sights (not to include range finders) capable of projecting a beam onto the target, while in possession or control of a firearm, bow and arrow, muzzleloading firearm or crossbow. This rule does not currently apply to other big game or small game.There are now new-generation telescopic sights that include range finders that calculate an aiming point on the objective lens of a scope based upon the distance to target and ammunition being used. These devices are currently legal because the aiming point is not projected onto the target.
