I need flashlight for night hunting

[logit99]

I need flaslight with at least 150m throw.

It must be green or red led light inside because wild animals (deers and wildhogs) are not disturbed with green or led light.

I know there is WildFinder II to buy but 230$ is too much for me.

Is there cheaper version somewhere?

Thanks.

are you looking for a light with only green and red @ 150lm?

or are you looking for a light that can output both white light, with the option of those colors?

It seems that Eagletac will release a light that sounds like what you would need,, it's called the "tactical RGB"

Green ( green + red is also ok) is enough for me. Important is
that throw is at least 150m. I dont need white beam.

What too look and buy and where?

you are under the misconception that they can't see the light because its green or red. If its bright enough they see it as light regardless as to whether or not the see the color of the light. They will see the light and if its coming in their direction they will be disturbed. You are not going to find 150 lumen real output green or red LED module.

I think he said 150 meter throw.

Perhaps he would be better off with IR and/or night vision gear.

The red Mini-Sniper from Sniper Hawg Lights is the closest you'll come to meeting your need. That's what I use for up to 70 meters.

if you can handle the size of 3-6D this would be suitable green led with throw

Think he was talking about going in and out of the woods before and after daylight without spooking game, this does not mean he was using his light to illegally hunt deer. I use my SF E1B on low mode alot in the woods to keep from spooking my quarry.

Is Warren still making Sgt. Burketts? He made a few bright red lights for some people.

Sounds like you intend to poach sleeping deer, what a sport!

that's a bit of a leap there, pardner...

I know he said he wanted to be able to see out 150 meters or so. That requires a powerful light. Its not going to be no 10 lumen or less light to use to walk out into the forest primeval and not trip over yourself.

As to hunting at night, some of you guys are probably not aware that many people get depredation permits to rid their farm property or ranches of invasive deer or pigs that would eat or damage crops or otherwise ruin their property for its intended use. Depredation permits do not require you to "hunt" during the day. If you have the permit you can do whatever you want to destroy the invasive species. If that means he gets to go "hunting" at night, there is nothing legally or morally wrong with that. Some places are totally overrun with wild animals.

So don't be to hasty to judge the application. That still won't help finding them without finding you with light in the visible spectrum that's bright enough to see out 150 yards or meters.

Maybe the OP can clarify the "night hunting" so replies will be appropriate.

What makes you think this? The OP said that he needed 150m throw.

Europe. Very popular. Ask Zeiss scopes why the light collection is so amazing? A: Made for moonlight.

I am thinking an old school incan w/ a red filter may be best for throw...that is what I use on fox and yotes.

Hopefully I am wrong and something new is around.

 

[logit99]

Let me explain. I am from Croatia, Europe.

In this moment it is apsolutely legal to hunt wildhogs during the night.
I have an WF600 flashlight with visible spot beam at 200 meters.

When I light on deers that don't bother them and they dont run away.
But wildhogs are different. If you light the with white light (normal led flashlight) in 99% cases they will run away. But with green light they stay like they don't see green spectrum of light. I can't explain this but green led light
doesnt bother them.

This is why I look for green light with at least 150m visible spot.

I have never had original Maglite flashlight (even Maglite is founded by croat called Maglica :-) if you didn't know )

This is supposed to fit in any 3-6 c/d maglite:

How far can reach regular Maglite, for example 4C cell??
Can it reach at least 100meters?

If can I will buy one and this green led upgrade.

What about buying something like UltraFire WF-1000L Cree MC-E for about 50-60$ from DX and just add some red filter, or piece of red plastic.
Would that work?

We were pretty quick to jump on old Logit about illegal hunting without knowing his intentions. In parts of the US (Alaska) it's legal to hunt game animals 24/7. Here in Texas we can hunt hogs and all other non-game animals 24/7. Nothing like sneaking up on a 300# hog at night -- you can hear 'em but not see 'em. Turn on the light and things get exciting in a hurry. And, sporting...try facing down a 300# charging hog with a flashlight, a pistol and a smile.
