im sure this topic has been beat to death some where along the line, but im new to nite hunting for predators, im guessin i need some kind of area lighting with the red lense and a gun mount light with white light for making the shot, am i thinkin the right direction?? i was considering the streamlight waypoint for the area lght , will have to make a red filter somehow and mount one of my surefires or something similar with a pressure pad switch or am i thinkin wrong??

The night shoot at the expo in september should help you make a decision ,hope you can make it.
-
definatly plan to be there, hopefully no emergencies at work , will there be vendors on site also??
-
Yes

This is one of the setups we use on our truck mounted sets.

This is the neat things... Light system that other predator callers use in other states. I know we can't hunt from vehicles here but we could set up something like this on a chair etc etc etc.. Clint thank you for sharing
-
Clint, what part of the state are you hunting in? I've been there with a guy named Don Peirce, he was from Midland and he had a very similar set up. Do you know Don?
-
I'm in West Tx. About 52 miles west of Midland. I don't think so. I'm bad with names.

I love that part of Texas, I can't wait to go back. I killed four Bobcats in one night With Don. I could have killed more but I didn't need more.

Hunted all around that area. Great area for cats and coyotes. I have a friend by Crane Tx who owns 60 square miles of property The Pacos river runs right through the middle of his property. Ever hunt by Garden City area ?
-
Ever take any Ringtail cats? They look like a squirrel with a raccoon tail and two buggy eyes.
-
Garden City,Crane Tx hunted there. Took some ringtail cats down south close to the boarder.

Thought this was a good idea.

swarter2 thanks for posting that..Now that would also allow you to hunt chucks on farms that the grass is up to 8 inches high too..
I might have to make me one of those.. Also night time hunting with a rifle in levels fields too...It would get you up a bit and you could see incoming for a long way off..
-
It just so happens I have 4ft ladder in the garage. Guess what it is turning into.
-
Yep...thats what I would do if I had a 4 foot ladder...

A lot of folks out it AZ. use that same trick.
