Coyote Hunting Lights?!?!?

[dan11011]

Sounds like white is a good way to start. Carpsniper have you used the new headlamp? Seems like it could work with a shotgun But impossible without a gun light for long shots. Sounds like white gun light, and white spot light of choice

I'll post on here tomorrow  if I caught anything on the trail cam at the burial site.

As far as baiting with scraps and trim, should I dig a deep but narrow whole and throw that down there frozen? I want to keep it simple. Neighbor has some vitals from his pigs that he froze to give to me for bait.

I have not had any experience with the head lamps. I use a lightforce spotter most of the time to locate and then use the wicked lights on my gun to get keyed in on them and take a shot. I have read a few reviews and they are supposed to work pretty good. With a shotgun I bet they would be great. With a rifle I don't see how well a shooter could line up the head beam and look down the scope at the same time.

[dan11011]

Makes sense! What model wicked light do you have? Also do you sell demo models or know anyone with used ones?

[carpsniperg2]

I just order what people want when they place the order. So I don't have any used stuff. Everyone loves them so I don't think anyone will part with theirs lol.

I have 3 one of each generation since they started.

[dan11011]

Great. I'll definitely order one from allpredatorcalls soon. Which light force do you have?

[carpsniperg2]

I have 1 170 and 2 of the 240's. The 240's are pretty big so I would look at the 140 or 170. The are the best spotlight on the market you can sometimes find them on ebay cheaper. I started running them when down in new Zealand and was blown away I have wasted probably 1,000.00 on a lot of cheap junk spotlights. Nothing compares to them.

Yet for the avg joe that might use it a few times a year. The gold old q beam spotlights work very well for around 40.00 they don't shine as far and are not as bright but they were my fave before getting setup with light force.

Light force that plugs into the cigar lighter clipsnto gun or can be hand held. It will light them upfarther than most can shoot at night.

Thanks for the opinion/info ^

I use these and LOVE them!  Red lens all night long, yes folks kill plenty with white lens, but if you ask the guys who do this type of hunting for a living most will say use a red lens.  Good luck, be safe, 100% identify your target (lots of critters come into calls at night, including deer and livestock) and have fun!!

Thanks I'll check them out. And yea the identifying is quite serious. I couldn't imagine shooting the neighbors scraggly dog on accident. I'll be sure to identify and know what I'm looking at.

Here's what I run.  I've found green works the best.  Got my money's worth out of the first dead coyote.

[dan11011]

Great! Looks a lot like the wicked lights model. What makes you say green is the best? Is it easiest to spot predators or is it easiest to see your surroundings with? I feel like calling at night could create a really eerie spookie feeling. I've got lions in my area. Or is it a pretty fun hunt?

Green light is the easiest light spectrum for the human eye to pick up in dark situations. There is a reason night vision uses the green light spectrum.

[dan11011]

Gotcha! That's the answer I was looking for!
