I am looking to get either a red or green light that I can attach to my rifle for evening Coltrane last light fox hunts. Is there any real difference between using red or green? Also does anyone have any good suggestions for lights?
First season varmint hunting for me. 3 nights out so far fox hunting. My friend is really into it and I caught the bug. We use red lights. I picked up a head lamp from my buddies shop. He has the headlamp and gunsight. he and I are both happy. The PA season ends on the 18th for fox so I will be out that weekend giving it another try. Hope to have a new scope and the gun light set up for next year.
"they" say yotes / foxes don't have the right stuff in their eyes to see red. but have spotted and or shot enough of them with white to know that white works too.
but since switching to all red LED this year, it appears to me that the critter's mannerisms are much more calm looking, so sticking with the red.
i got a set of cheap chinese junk off amazon (it works well so i guess it's not junk) Uniquefire lights, with 850nm, red, green and white LED pills, posted a review of it here:
overall with a decent LED and lens, i'm liking the red, the green seems to spoil my "natural night vision" for a few seconds. The white LED really kills that "natural night vision".
Critters don't like green lights. They see a shade of brown from a red light which doesn't alarm them unless you shine it directly in their eyes. If you sweep the light above the animal when looking for them their eyes will still light up and you can see them in the scope without the light being directly on them.
