No matter you are an experienced nighttime hunter, or just a starter for a night adventure, carrying a flashlight would be necessary to keep you safe and more productive in the below aspects.
In the past, night hunters would mainly rely on their basic sight and intuition when targeting an animal. However, it’s a limitation of humans that we can’t see in the dark, which some animals can. Nowadays, we fully understand how a flashlight would help. It can not only light up your area for moving forward but also allow you to know where is a good direction to shoot at.
Animal tracks are extremely important for night hunting. Remember if you miss the animals’ path, probably you’ll miss the game. Obviously, it’s almost impossible to follow the tracks without the aid of a good hunting flashlight.
During night hunting, it’s necessary for you to make others aware of your presence in the darkness to ensure your safety. With a hunting light, it would be easy for you to be visible to other hunters nearby to avoid any security risk.
Additionally, in case you need any help in the darkness, a flashlight could work as a survival tool and signal in an emergency to help you out.
It’s a significant safety hazard for yourself and others when you handle a loaded weapon in the dark. While a flashlight would be really helpful for you to operate the weapon correctly and safely so as to avoid mishaps or security risks.
Field dressing is a necessary step in preserving the meat of the animal after you get an animal successfully. And you’d better do this as soon as possible to prevent the growth of bacteria. It would be a tough task without an illumination tool. But with a proper flashlight, you’ll be able to finish this more easily and efficiently even in darkness.
Probably you’ve been aware of the difficulty in moving forward in the dark forest, Let alone moving through the irregular and chaotic terrains of woods with the bulky prey. A wrong step can cause you a serious injury. Therefore, you need a bright portable torch to help you get out of the woods in a safe and pleasant manner.
The beam throw is the most important factor to consider when choosing your hunting flashlight. There are two beam profiles - spot and flood.
A spotlight casts a narrow beam of light, usually no wider than 45 degrees. This beam is more concentrated and easier to point and allows further distance.
A floodlight can have a beam spread of up to 120 degrees. It can illuminate a larger amount of space with the same wattage and lumen output as a spotlight. This beam is better for close illumination.
During night hunting, you would need a spot beam that is both bright and far enough for long distances to spot your target. Generally, a beam distance of over 1,000 feet would be preferred.
White is the most common color during illumination. It allows high lumen and is good to use in most cases, but not always. Most hunters know that white light would be likely to spook and scare away the target. Since some animals can’t detect red or green colors, the red and green hunting flashlight becomes preferred by hunters.
Red lighting is common among all of the top predators because unlike hogs, they are much harder to trick. However, most of them are invisible for red lighting, which is their weakness that you can take full advantage, so as to maximize your chances at harvesting predators while hunting.
Green lighting is the preferred choice among hog hunters because hogs are typically darker in color and the green light contrasts and illuminates their bodies easier than red light does.
No. Deer have protanopia and only have green and blue cones, which makes them red-green colorblind.
Thus, both green and red hunting light is good choice for deer hunting.
No. Hogs can't see green lights because the wavelength in green light is higher than the normal wavelength that a hog can see.
Besides, some hunters would choose IR flashlights, which is invisible and generally works with night vision device. With an infrared flashlight, you can clearly see the prey without being exposed and attacked.
A hunting flashlight should be compatible with shotguns or rifles, which allows the hunter to simultaneously aim a weapon and illuminate the target. Many manufacturers offer gun mounts and remote switches, which can be purchased as a complete hunting kit.
