Gentlemen,
Trying to get more into the varmint hunting at night but have basically no experience.
I've been searching for a few days, reading all I can. Seems technology changes pretty quickly as when I think I've got turned on to a light or something else and click on the link, they are no longer available.
So when it comes to equipment for night hunting it seems I need the following, since I am currently not in a position to spend the big bucks on thermal:
Light mounted to gun
Scanning light for trying to find varmints coming to the call
So what could you guys recommend for each of these?
I like to get recent experience from others as I can't count the number of times I get into something, buy equipment only to find I really either need or want something else.
On the gun mounted light I was looking at the Nitecore P30 1000 Lumens 676 Yards Red and Green Rechargeable Hunting Light with Lumentac Rifle Mounting Kit for Hog Coyote and Varmint Hunting for $145.
Really still don't have a clue on the scanning light and could use some advice there.
If it matters, I am most interested in bobcat and fox for some leather projects I am wanting to do but will take whatever comes my way. I will be shooting a bolt action .204
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
