Lights and such to hunt at night

[cincoranchhntr]

Frank, I'm going to send you a rechargeable IR light unit that you will be able to set approx 30' from the feeder and get plenty of light for the night unit I'm sending. You will set it up several hours before the hunt, switch it 'on' and leave it. The photocell will turn the light on at dusk. The charge should last 6 to 8 hrs. One thing we have found to be useful is to dig a shallow hole and place corn and attractant of some kind inside it, then cover with dirt. When a large hog shows up, you can wait for him/her to settle in and get on their knees to get down into the hole. At that point the hog is stationary and you can literally zoom your scope in and put a round directly in the ear if you want. It's pretty cool. The units we usually test with don't have a DVR installed or operating at the time. However, I'm confident you will be able to get some great video. We are testing with video on now. I'm still working on dialing in the audio (small mic) and will include that if possible.

I'm still getting the instructions with pics put together, you won't have any trouble. All of it is designed to be very user friendly. You will want to be able to set your gun in a support of some kind while you are watching and waiting so start thinking about that. Nothing worse than having to hold a gun up to look thru the eyepiece for hours, right? My hunting buddy has a Pulsar and he took it off his AR10 and is now waiting for one of my units.

Yeah, I use my Photon for a hand held spotter now. I will scan the adjacent sendero once in a while just in case.....

Frank I used this green light of a friend. Wow. Kills my crappy one. Do you think the ones you use are same/better than this?

Orion Predator H30 Red or Green 273 Yards Premium Varmint Coyote Hunting Light

Another pal has this one, but have yet to see if it's that much better than the above

Orion M30C 377 Yards Long Range Red or Green Predator Varmint Hunting Flashlight - 700 lumen

you have not lost anything should you not feel it is good enough and you will not need it when you get a scope except for walking around
