what do i need to night hunt?
What exactly do I need to hunt at night? How expensive is it to get all the equipment to hunt at night? I hear people talking about spotting lights with a red lens...what is that and what does it do?
Thanks for your help

RE: what do i need to night hunt?
First off-are you allowed to hunt after dark in your state?????
I have always used a head lamp from Nite Light Company
they have all you need..And the red lense is to not spook
the animal as quickly as the clear lense..I like the head light
as your hands are free then..Most of them come with a charger
and you can dim them or brighten up to a spot light...Another
good item would be a good small Mag light with extra batteries..
And the rest is up to you depending what your after..Some states
will allow a night vision scope..Some a light attatched to the scope
or barrel..Some this is not legal..Hand held only,so be sure to
check your state laws,etc..
