Choose one; green light or NV monocular for Night Hog Hunt

Yes it is, and with "Fred Bear" by Ted Nugent playing in the background.

Forget the cheap NV ocular and wait until you can afford the real thing that is going to cost 10X that amount.

In the meantime, a KLR 250 with both red and green LEDs modules (total investment $150) will do you well for 95% of everything that you will do scanning wise out to 200 yards.

A small Olight M-20 Crimson Red LED weapon light will top off the other 5 % (another $90).

If you want the best LED for longest range, get an Olight M3-X with Cree XM-L LED with a green ground glass filter and have at it out to 300 yards.

Do NOT put a red filter on a white LED, they only allow about 2% of the light through. If you need red, get a real red led.

Green however is a predominate wavelength from Cree white led emitters and will work just fine.

That should keep your freezer well stocked for at least a couple of years.....

Where would you recommend getting the light and green filters?

I get all my tactical LED lights and gear from Battery Junction, they are 100% GTG:

Look up the M-20 Crimson RED LED and the M3-X and their accessories.

BTW, here is a day time pic of my stand so that you can put into perspective the night gear photos above, it is 225 yards out to my game cam and feeder.....



That is my coyote decoy standing next to the pine tree about 50 yards out.

Can you shoot a link to this item? I am wondering if I should get one w/ a green light.

stay away from cheap NVG
a good red or green LED light (I am testing a green from Selph Arms and it's good to go out to 200 with a decent scope)

I have been testing a Pulsar N500 digiital NV and I just don't trust it, last weekend we were out hunting and I chose to run the Selph green LED instead

Wilson Combat 6.8, 16" lightweight barrel, S&B 1.5-6 flashdot #9. Selph Arms green LED
