RE: Homemade hog lights. CHEEP!
After they get shot at a couple of times they learn what the light means. For the expereinced hogs you have about 3 seconds to shoot before they are gone. We have one rigged up with a foot pedal we can hit to turn the light on. We also covered ours with a red lenses and it doesn't seem to bother them. Luckily for us we have a friend who owns a big wire and cable supply store so we get the wiring free so we ran a wire form the breaker box to the blind where we hunt and don't have to mess with batteries anymore.
