Hog Hunting in Texas

[O4L]

04L.....Don't bother with super expensive lights, you can buy solar powered porch lights at Harbor Freight for about 25 bucks that work just fine. I use a bunch of them at different feeders and have shot a lot of hogs under them. They come with motion detectors as well...

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

I took a primos red spotlight that clips on the scope, took the 6v light bulb out and replaced it with an H3 12v motorcycle bulb. I then put a12v rechargeable feeder battery in a fanny pack to power it. I also added a cigarette lighter adapter so that I could charge and/or operate it in my truck.
It was great for hunting, super bright but with the red lens critters never reacted to it. The battery would last a couple of hunts in between charges. Of course it's turned on only intermittently.
Half-moonlight at your back can allow you to see fairly well. The time between half moon and quarter moon was pretty fruitful night hunting, at least for me.
