I have a chance to night hunt for coyotes and bobcats in Colorado this December. I don't have a light. Any suggestions on a set-up? The FoxPro Wildfire will be going, along with the Mojo critter (we'll be calling in the daytime for a couple of days too).
As for a gun, I have a bolt action .223 Savage, that currently has a 3.5-12x44 AO Aetec on it, but hopefully I'll have something in semi-auto by then. What power scopes does everybody like for a .223? It'll mostly see daytime hunting, but if I have it by then, it'll get used for hunting at night too. Either 50mm or 56mm objective.
There's always the possibility that a Mt. Lion would show up, we did kill one on the Elk hunt this year. (crossed a fresh track, they went back and got the dogs - took 3.5 hrs of chasing, and they said there were 5 or 6 lions in that one canyon.) They saw the dogs behind 4 different lions and one was finally treed.
