Lumenshooter light for coyotes

[Fishfinder]

A pack of coyotes has been getting pretty close to the cabin so I decided to thin the pack a bit. Has anyone ever tried using a red light for hunting coyotes? Supposedly it allows you to see their eyes but they can't see the red light.
I borrowed it from my daughters boyfriend but if it's any good I'll get one for myself.

I'd try it. Worst case you'll scare away the coyotes for a while. I do think they will see the light and scoot, however. The other issue is that if you illuminate their eyes from afar, you might not be able to identify exactly what you would be shooting. Will be interesting to see if anyone has had success with that light.

I've got a buddy that's got a thermal scope he uses for coyotes. It's sick. It's also about $6,000.
Sorry this isn't any help I'm sure.

Do it!

What distance do you plan on shooting with that setup? I'd be surprised if you were able to accurately identify your targets, that would be my main concern.

Pan the light into the targeted area, don't just switch it on. They can see the light but they're less likely to spook if the light is introduced into the area gradually.

They're coming pretty close, around 30-40 yards. I see occasional tracks right up to the cabin though.

Wow, they could see that coyote pretty good at 200 yards

If they can't see the light, I would hang red lights all over the trees, light up the woods.

Winter of '20-'21 there was a blood bath about 30 yards from my cabin. This winter I've seen tracks coming right up to my back door.

If that scene doesn't rate a Get Well Soon balloon,
I don't know what does.

My friends dad owns a farm
He bought one of them ATN thermal scopes a few years ago one for the 25 cal pellet rifle and one for the lever action for bigger Varmint.
Absolutely loves it.
Uses the 25 cal on rats/possum/coons and all the other chicken and egg destroyers:
The lever gun is for the coyotes.
Says If I hear the Lama and Donkeys start crying out I know to grab the lever gun

Thermal is a game changer. Never behind the gun but got pov videos of the hunt. It’s incredible
