I've normally used a Brinkman spotlight with a red filter. While it's been very productive, at times I'm sure that the three million candle power beam it puts out scares the critters that are coming in to the call. I figured I'd switch up my set up and went out and purchased a Black and Decker Spotlight from Walmart last night for $19.95. Below are it's specs:
The Black & Decker LED Spotlight is compact, lightweight and battery operated for ease of use.

* Impact resistant
* Compact and lightweight
* Comfortable pistol handle design
* Weatherproof construction

I am amazed at the quality of beam this compact spot light puts out. The beam is narrow and literally burns a hole through the darkness. I took it outside last night and shined around my property. I can easily see targets with 100% clarity at over 300 yards. I know most of the yote hunters spend a large amount of cash on top of the line equipment. However, being a simple man on a fixed budget, I tend to go the cheaper route if available, provided I'm not losing a large amount of "quality". This little light is well worth the cash and I'm confident it would give most high end comparable lights a run for their money. My two cents anyway.
