Hey guys. Researching some rifle mounted red led hunting lights. I have 3-4 in my wheelhouse but wanted to see if any of you are using any mounted lights. No red lenses, red led's only. Looking to spend about $150 tops.
 
Ill ask my buddy he knows of a kit that's 250 head lamp shotgun mount rifle mount. Sure the web site has just a light for cheaper but. U can't use them till deer seasons over

But ya I use them Its fun
 
I have had all sorts of lights including wicked, night force and that nd50 laser . Coyotes use to require a red filter when we used incandescent spotlights but through lots of trial and error we have noticed they will come in to a cree led with no filter. I don't know what it is but dove opener we went spotlighting the valley and had numerous dogs in my led beam and no stress.hit um with the 2 million spot and they were gone. Try it out white light creeled . Look up lumaforce they're local and just as good a stream light but way cheaper. The turbo thrower head is the ticket. Killed vermin out to 200 with it.
 
I own a red LED light from Sniper Hog Lights. It is great and very bright compared to some others I've seen. My buddy has a green Wicked Light and it is super nice too. Both are very bright and shine a good distance out there.

I bought mine for use when hog hunting in Texas with a buddy of mine. Never used it out here for anything but a flashlight when walking to a stand early in the morning.

What lights have you been researching?
 
Ok... well that changes everything. Is it just illegal to have a rifle mounted light during deer season, or during the entire year?
