Would you use as a scanning light or shooting light?
Both scanning and shooting when using the shotgun...Remember I use many different types of illumination behind the bead of the shotgun too..just something so I know where to point the bead of the shotgun.. Once the predator comes into shotgun range you just point the illuminated bead at the predator and fire..The coyote light will light up the eyes. Actually the entire predator..
I would use it as my scanning light when using the rifle... When using the rifle I would shut off the the Coyote Light when eyes appeared then let the illumination of the Kill light on the rifle take over. It blocks the predator from seeing you. As the predator got into range I would shoot the predator with the 250 Kill Light attached to the rifle..
When using a broom handle or a dowel rod with a light attached. You almost need a third hand.. See you have the shotgun, the light on a dowel rod, and then your mouth call or your remote.. While the remote attached to a lanyard on your neck is not too bad with a hand held light.. Having a mouth call in your without a lanyard could also make you miss a fast incoming predator.. Some mouth calls are either too big or too small to have around your neck so hence you end up just keeping it in your pocket..
