How will a laser sight help, if the hunter is blind?

This is just what I figured out on why laser sights are allowed. I doubt that there would be any bird or small game hunting by the blind. The movement is just too fast. What I can imagine is the blind hunting large animals like deer. With the aid of their companion, the blind could start lining their shot up on a standing deer. The companion could see how well the shot is aimed by the laser dot. The companion could then talk the shot like move up a little, a bit to the left, just a bit more…etc.

In Wisconsin there is a bobcat season; .22cal handgun only, must surrender carcass to DNR.

There was a proposal before the legislature to legalize killing of feral cats but it never got any traction. When I first moved to the area 26 years ago there was a group of high school students who [illegally] hunted cats at night with bows. I don’t recall what happened when they were caught. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of them ended up in prison as adults. That sort of behavior doesn’t bode well for adjustment to adult life.

If this passes, could this be a case of the dumb (learning challenged) leading the blind? In the past years, before I quit hunting, I had enough problems with the hunters that could supposedly see OK. There are quite a few hunters that will shoot at anything that moves. (cows, people, dogs, cats, etc.) I believe I will stay out of the woods.
 
at least in Texas hunting is done on private land, not public land, but where I come from, to hear my brothers tell it when they return from their hunting trips on state land in No. Mich, a lot of the hunters out there are legally blind.
 
Are there laws preventing the blind from hunting? Or are blind people just generally keen on common sense and refrain by personal choice?
