The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Hunting is a broad, broad term. And in this case, there is no testimony that the guns were loaded. The officer could not remember whether they were loaded or not. There was no evidence that there was ammunition. The only testimony is from the Defendants, that they were looking for deer with the headlights of the vehicle. They planned to hunt the next day with two (2) high powered rifles in the vehicle.... However, taking hunting within the definition of State versus Crawford, as defined in several other cases, the term hunting has been defined as "the act of pursuing and taking of wild game" or more simply as "the search for game or other wild animals." And that was State versus Bass they were citing.... [B]y the Defendants' own statements, they were obviously looking for deer during illegal hours and the Court finds them both Guilty of the offense of Hunting during Illegal Hours. (emphasis added).”
