Best Coon Hunting Light Opinions please.

Postby houndhavoc » Tue Mar 16, 2010 10:56 pm

I am contenplating a hunting light and was wondering what others had or had experience with. I really like the bump cap styles more than a soft ball cap just for the country I hunt. Any opinions would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Just make sure you check your area with the dfg regs. Most of the spots I hunt are open to all but up here where I live it has to be under 9 volts.

By a belt light you will never know it's there, I have never been botherd by DF&G about volts I have 2-28's, 2-21"s and 17 volt. I think if it's obvious what your hunting and it's up to wardens discression, but if you want to be safe buy a 2D cell LED MAGLITE. Very worth the $$$$$$. Good kuck on whatever you choose. What part of Cali are you from?

I am from the Delta area Oakley, Antioch. I believe I have met you "Bearman" once before out at the galt pond. Any specific brand I should stick with or stay away from?

houndhavoc: Did you have Red dogs? Any of those lights will work just depends on how much $$$$ you want to spend. Try the 2cell mag lite. "LED"

I'd either go with either Blazer in Ohio, or The Battery Terminal in Kentucky.

I have both and like them both very much.

Good Luck!

You need one of the new Predator lights. I have hunted with quite a few others and there's nothing like no cord, doesn't get hot, and no heavy battery. The coons will look, plus its great in fog. The charge lasts all night. Nothing better. Get one and you;ll never use a battery and cord again.
