That's not it, not what I said, and not what I meant. I didn't say anything about shooting in the dark.

You're not hunting deer in the dark. You're getting to your blind before sunrise or you could be recovering your deer in the dark from a day time shot.

In that case, you can put away the gun and use the light.

You fundamentally do not understand the activity of hunting and equate it to just shooting a gun. That's like saying camping is the activity of sleeping in a tent at night. There's a lot more involved that you're not aware of.

The point is that the activity of hunting spans over an entire day and certain activities can be performed before sunrise or after sunset and none of those activities involve shooting a gun.

The camping and walking in the forest part is not what distinguishes hunting from everything else done in the forest.

If they are looking for a deer they have shot few hours before, they can put away gun and walk around using the light. The lights are not allowed when they have guns with them.
