Learn how to use all kind of lights for hunting...Head both with the Cap and the Strap type. Also make sure you use some kind of light to track in coming game...The head light can be used to see the eyes coming in and also to shoot with it...You can even attach a scope light to a broom handle or 1 inch -3/4 dowel rod as a light to check for eyes and then hold it under your forearm of your gun to shoot...This is a good set up for the shotgunner....You can also attach a light to your scope or to the underside of your barrel this would be your shooting light.. Never use this light to scan for incoming eyes or to ID a predator.
using a light on a broom handle and a red dot scope type light in combination can also be a deadly set up...I'm not talking about Muller regular scopes. I am talking about Holosight dot scope on a shotgun... I only like to use the Holosight with the shotgun if I see the predator coming in from afar...Going high tech like this can explode in your face if the fox just shows up feet in front of your from no where... Learn to light up the bead with something and this most times is the best shotgun method....Simple...Aim the illuminated bead at the incoming predator and the shot is made fast.. using the red dot at fast right on top of you predators usually ends up in misses...Unless you practice practice practice with this set up and make fast shots at incomings...
A C cell Brinkman and or a D cell Brinkman with a red and or yellow lens attached to a broom handle makes and out standing shooting light.
You can also use the top of your head light as a white light to light up the bottom of the entire predator ...Get a Nitelite hat that has the swivel on the hat...Aim the white light over the horizon. Allow the bottom of the white light to light up the predator...Do not shine the light right at the incoming predators eyes...This is a very good set up since you can see the entire predator when it's time to shoot but you have to just use the bottom of the light to light up the predator..
Alo you can also have the person that is controlling the call or doing the calling to take a spot light and drop it ever so slowly down from the horizon and light up the predator with the bottom of the beam...Again this takes team work... You have to let the shooter know when your going to light up the fox with the bottom of the beam....
I use Nitelite, Strap head lights, broom handles or dowel rods, dot scope, lights attached to scopes, lights attached to barrels, spot lights, swiveled head lights... learn to use them all.......
Get to be good using all of this.....Or use the one that works best for you.......
