So You Want to Coon Hunt? Hunting Lights
One necessity when coon hunting is a light of some kind. That can range from a simple flashlight all the way to hunting lights specially intended for coon hunting. Depending on exactly what you want, the price tag could range from a buck at the dollar store clear up to many hundred dollars for a hunting light with all the bells and whistles a serious coon hunter could ever wish for.
For those who have never coon hunted who are just thinking about taking up the sport, any light will do. You definitely wouldn’t want to use one long-term, but until you’re sure you’re going to stick with hunting, it’s better than spending too much on a light you may not continue using. Once you’re sure about wanting to hunt, then there are a myriad of lights to choose from on the market.
There are many things to take into consideration when shopping for a light, some of them dependent upon whether you hunt for fun or for competition. Some of the options available are nice to have and make life easier, but outside of competition hunts, they really aren’t needed and are a waste of money. Two of the most important things to keep in mind, either way, are battery life and wattage.
