Red Light Flashlight for hunting

[KLGunner]

So I went predator hunting the other weekend. Buddy I went hunting with had a nice but old red light flashlight for his AR-15 he was hunting with. I didn’t even think of this when we went out. So I’ll be going in a week to go hunting again. I need a nice bright strong red light to attach to my firearm to go hunting with. What do y’all suggest?

A lot of tac lights can add a red lens covering. You can also cut a thin piece of plastic and a red sharpie. Actually have a buddy who cuts the thin hard plastic from packages to fit his tac light and colors it with a red sharpie. Crazy but it actually works

Hmm guess that’s an option lol.

You could also get a red lighting gel and trim it to fit.

A round tail light lens possibly?

 

[TEXASforLIFE]

Might be too thick?

I love the ideas please keep them coming but I’m honestly looking to buy something. More something to outshine my buddies light.

Window stain in red if you can still get it. Get an extra lens , stain it and you are good to go.

Coyote Light or Wicked light. Have you thought about Night Vision or Thermal scope?

Also have another bud that bought a cheap light with red and green lenses that was lower power and used that lens on his surefire as a plug n play ... have not seen too many options in 1000 lumens with a red lens, thus the make your own

Cover the headlights on the vehicle red?

Definitely looking into those options.

Thermals are fun. Expensive but fun

I think this is a very mediocre idea ...

When I was in high school, a football buddy and I used a red lens to spot light coyotes. This coupled with a distress call worked very well.

I was also recently looking for a lantern that I can take with me on hunting trips. It's funny to see how many people are negligent with the choice of a lantern, because it is important to remember that the lantern illuminates the area, allowing you to move safely through the forest, disorientates the target and is even a means of self-defense. For myself, I found such a good option as Vont 'Blaze' Tactical Flashlight (2 PACK) and its characteristics suit me very well. There's even a fully adjustable beam width.
Dude, when choosing which lantern is best to buy for hunting, it is important to understand that there is no universal hunting lantern and you have to find it for yourself.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I can tell you it works and on the cheap.

Red is easier on human eyes as well.
I use a green light foe moving around for hog hunting as they dont seem to pick it up as well .

Not sure if either 2 of these lights would work for you?

We use green Kill Lights gun lights from Elusive Wildlife for night hunting hogs. The reason being that hogs do not react to the green light where the red or white light will spook them. I don't hunt coyotes but they have a red light option.
