Night hunting

[Jburke]

So what does every body use for lights when hunting yotes at night?  Any suggestions?  My old hand held spotlight died on me and I'm looking for any good ideas.  Hands free would be the best, but not opposed to other ideas either.  What about timing, what time of night is usually best?

What Brandon say's Light force if you buy the cheaper one's at cabelas they die fast. i also have two stream light Flashlight stinger's withe the piggy back charger worth the money. almost bobcat time. Rick

I see Primos not has a preditor light out.
Is it any good? 
The price is not to bad.

i've used the Primos type light's they die the first stand. these other's i can charge while heading to the next stand. the big thing is make sure you can charge in your rig and it chages fast. Rick

Good to know Rick.

Thats some thing i did not think of 

[bearmanric]

just make sure it would charge fast enough maybe with inverter.check those type light's out in the cabelas catalogue. Rick

Light force all the way!!!   RB Boyed has it right the scope mounted light will shine yotes farther than you can shoot..800-1000yd I have one with the cigarette plug in. Those portable jump boxes for the auto work awsome if they come with a cigarette plug in... They're cheap at Costco and seem to last long. By 2 and change them out... Stacke'm like cord wood!

I second the jump boxes.  Makes life easy on you if you don't want to wire up a couple of extra batteries.  Keep the candle power low.  If you want to give it a try to see if you like it here is a cheap, lightweight light that I would try.

To me weight is extremely important when buying a light.  If you go with a scope light, fabricate a cover that will keep you out of the lights backwash.

Any of you guys use a headlamp?

I'm going to attempt to smack some pesky coyotes around my house but I will be in too close proximity of houses to use a rifle (within 500 yds middle of the night residential neighborhood outside city limits).  Theres a few adjacent areas of sage around all the houses I can set up in so I want to try and use my bow. 

Any headlamp recommendations?

teal 101 if your going to use a bow you need one light to light up the yote and the headlamp to light up your pins tape a mag light to your stabilizer or something

Is using a LED sight legal for coyotes?  My bow has a sight on it that has a spot for batteries to illuminate the pins.  I know its illegal for deer so i don't have batteries in it but if its legal for coyotes I might look into getting it working for that.

Coyotes are by any means possible.

Firearms/equipment restrictions are for game animals, which coyotes are not.

Like with a shotgun - 3 rounds for game birds - as many as you can stuff it with for coyotes.

the primos light only goes about half as far as it says
you get what you pay for
had it and took it back
