With the ever changing and improving hunting light choices do you think its possible to have to much light?
-
I was having this conversation yesterday with a friend. Yes I do think you can have too much light but I don't think we are there yet.
-
Yes
-
Just wondering if anyone has had times when the predators retreated when hit with the bright shooting lights?

Yes, Its called "Burning" them if they're blinking, its too bright

Especially when you hit them with the direct beam of a white light...

I respectfully disagree with the blinking part of your statement. I have several fox blink at me every year that I kill.
Predators blink there eyes in the daylight too and there is no artificial light on them.

What I mean is If you notice they're blinking excessively, It will be obvious when it happens. and Usually they the "Surprise" foxes.

I understand but still disagree.

The Killlight is a good light but the CoyoteTLR is a better light

I know what Ryan means and have had it happen when I started night hunting. the fox will blink excessively and turn its head instead of looking right at you
-
LL, they're not blinking at your aggressively because you're light is too powerful, they're blinking excessively because,well, you're hard to look at...even at 100 yards.... :o

LOL that is probably as good an answere why critters blink that I have read in years.
-
I see how it it ::)
-
I have not noticed an animal blinking excessively even with using a white led. the way you use your light makes a big difference as well.

I'm not convinced thats because of the light though. As big ben said a lot has to do with how you use your light. If you think its too bright then keep them in the halo. I'm not saying i don't spook critters but i'm not convinced it's because of the light. Predators will turn there heads often for many reasons like other predators, loking for escape or approach routes and wind direction and other noises will all make them turn thier heads.

Respectfully disagree :P

No problem! Keep em in the core! ;D

But Dennis Kirk said that's what blinking means in his now 26 + year old How to fox hunting book !!!! LOL LOL Just joking...
Actually... If the light is to bright and it hurts their eyes... They ain't going to stay around to even let you see them blink,,,There going to be gone in a minisecond..
Now I have had a few VIXEN's wink at me in my time!!!

its amazing how some people can call in animals on video with 1 million candlepower white spotlights and still call them into 20 yds. these guys come to mind. http://www.predatorpursuit.com/

Had a red hang up in a tree line for more than 5 minutes doing this blinking, ducking behind a log, and head turning. I think the white 1million CP was too much for it. It hasnt happened since I switched to red light. So it DID stay for more than a minisecond( also have a witness). Maybe its just the Lawrence co fox.

I might have agreed with you earlier if you told me it was a white light. That changes everything.
