Thread: Spotlighting tips and tricks

I've been getting into a bit of spotlighting. Its all pretty new but a fun winter activity once the snapper leave the bay .

Mostly small game. Ie possums, rabbits and hares.

Luckily we have access to some large blocks of land threw work. The land owners have so far been great. The last fella just gave us the gate code on the condition we left a sign when we were in there....



Gotta love that sign. Bit different to the usual no shooting ones

So what type of spotlights do you guys recomend ??

I currently have a maxtoch sniper, brought 1 year ago direct from ali express (it was advertised as de dommed) @gadgetman just outa interest how many lumens would this be ?? We find this to be fantastic at picking out the possums eye. You can spot them a long way off.

My mate has an old school (400 candle power) spot which clips to the truck battery. It throws a yellow light which seems to be a lot better at picking up the hares eye. Question....how many lumens is 400 candle power ??

@nightshooter you must have something to say what do you recomend ?
@Angus A what type of light are you using?

@ anyone else.....your recommendations are welcome....

For us we are about 50/50 shooting off the truck and walking.

Even made this last weekend to clip on to the truck.



Other thoughts were a truck tire tube on the roof, or a wool fadge? Any ideas/recommendations welcome.

Any tips or tricks you have to improve our nights out would be greatly appreciated

Cheers fellas
