Clearly not an umbrella.
Cant really tell if its a bolt action or AR style but looks AR style.
Hunting season up there?

No, I'd say you are observant. It appears to me to be a rifle with scope.
What's up for hunting right now in that part of MI, one that allows/requires such a rifle?

It's still deer season, daylight only of course. He slowly went past my house shining across the street (cemetery). Then he went into reverse fast and circled the inside perimeter. Then he left passing by my house again. No harm no foul I guess, but I still don't like it. Anyone that goes out to shoot in the dark is a bad accident waiting to happen...
No ARs for hunting

No way. There aren't that many and he wouldn't know anyway as I don't recognize the vehicle.

Yep, that's why the camera(s) are there. He wasn't a mailbox checker though, He had the light pointed out looking into the cemetery that whole way.

When I visit Bro-in-law up in Tioga County PA in winter, (not this year) its not uncommon for lots of hunters to be out "spotting" in early evening. I;m gonna assume thats what he was doing without any other facts to the contrary.

You can use ARs for hunting deer here in Florida with a limited cap magazine. Not at night of course. Is this in the country? I’d say he was poaching if he was shining.
Except that I'd think it's a little uncommon to be spotting with your piece laying right next to you while you're shining.
Agreed

yeah all depends on the location. Where bro-in-law lives, essentially on top of a mountain, he and 3 others (neighbors) have free reign over about 750 acres of a mountain top. Long guns are left in vehicles pretty much all the time.
Likely just making sure that the dead stay dead.

Yep, shining light, he's illegally hunting after dark and illegally from the road.
Hopefully he doesn't know better, and fires that long gun from within the car without ears, thus rendering him deaf.

Let me clarify, 'Spotting" or shining is perfectly legal and common (at least in PA). Shooting them after dark is not
Here too. You don't look too innocent if you have a gun right next to you while shining/spotting though.
