    What sort of rifle are you using? And what is the distance you can clearly see with your spotlight?

    I would get a scope good in low light and have a go at whatever you can see, you should be able to shoot out to 100m ok (you may want to give it a bit of lift at that distance depending on what your rifle is sighted in at). Worth a crack.
    What you might have just as much success with initially is having a casual wander late afternoon-sun down, its often the best time. It also gives you time to get used to your rifle if youre not all that familiar with it.

    That would be what I would do anyway and is my suggestion. Good luck and happy hunting.

    They are a very nice model of rifle. I had one and it was as accurate as the anshutz I had at the same time. Not all are, but the 27 seemed a step up....
