Coyotes Waking Me Out Of Bed! Need Gun Mounted Spotlight!

Unread postby Spysar » Wed Dec 23, 2015 2:14 am

I know some of you guys spotlight. Does anyone have one that mounts to a gun? The coyotes are insane around my house. They're in my yard now! But it's because I'm throwing rib cages and fish skin on the edge of my yard. These pics are easy shot out my back door.I don't want to trap cause of the hawks and owls. Who makes a good gun mounted spotlight?

Check this light out. Just bought it last spring and it works great.

A dirt hole trap set 20 yards away from the bait will keep the Hawks safe. Or set snare in the trails coming in as well. Easy.

It's not the knowing that's difficult, but the doing.

Spy, a simple Google search of "gun mounted spotlights" brings up anything you need. Get on Amazon.com and you can read reviews of them all as well.

Yes it does. It has a clamp that mounts to the scope and the light. Pressure switch as well as a red and green lense.
Light me up out to 200 yards if needed.

Check out the CandlePowerForums (CPF). They have a ton of information on the higher end LED flashlights. I will warn you that they a like potato chips; can't have just one.

The new technology is amazing.

Check out Sniper Hawg Lights. I don't have any experience with any other lights but am REALLY happy with this light. I had lit up eyes using the red diode at 300+ yards but couldn't identify it so I switched out the red diode for the white and I was then able to identify the critter as a coon.

You can get kits that include everything you need including an adjustable mount for on your scope. I bought mine from a dealer locally here: http://shop.boondock-outdoors.com/SniperHogLights-PREDATOR-PRO-kit-with-two-66LR-lights-SHL-PREDATOR-PRO.htm. I originally went to his shop intent on buying a Wicked Light setup and the owner actually talked me into the Sniper Hawg package which was in his opinion better than the Wicked Light plus it cost LESS. I'm used to dealers up-selling me on items and I wasn't used to being talked into a product that was actually cheaper so I went with it.

The link posted above may be a bit pricey if you aren't going to get into calling/hunting after dark since it's a complete kit with a scanning light and everything you need to hunt after dark. It looks like you can also just buy a single light/batteries/charger/mount for $164.99 if you're just looking for something to use around the house: http://shop.boondock-outdoors.com/SniperHogLights-66LR-Riflehunters-package-single-color-of-choice-SHL-Riflehunter-kit.htm.
