If you put a piece of tape over the bottom third or so of the torch it can help a great deal as well.

Moreso the bottom third of the scope objective. Don't need more light going through the scope when you have a torch on.

Joining this conversation late but thinking about the issue I would say that turning the torch off would solve the problem. Ha ha ha ha fuck you’re a helpful bugger Rushy.

we do a bit of lighting - have gone right of many of the new LED- just to white - the glare onto wet grass can be very hard to make out animals - have gone to a more dull light - but try a filter if you have a chance very effective on shy rabbits green or red have not tried on deer but could work - with a thermal one does not need a mega power light - you know where the deer is and its just a matter of enough to get a sight picture - try a wrap around your suppressor enough to take the shine of it - most of our lighting we have one shooter on the rifle and one person on the light so not so important

That is the best way and most fun. Last time I went possum shooting, I was the spotter (thermal + torch) and probably enjoyed it more than being the trigger man. There was no pressure to perform!
