Axis Deer + HogLight = Good Idea?

[The Crippler]

Does anyone have any experiences hunting axis or blackbuck at night with a hoglight? Tips, tricks, suggestions? Going in a couple of weeks and want to know if it's worth sitting on stand into the night.

Legal?

[Fishndude]

Of course it's legal but the two times I've shined a hog light on axis, they bolted like their *** was on fire.

I was using a red light.

That made me have a belly chuckle visualizing it

I would rank it up there with trying to kill a pope & young in the same situation... It's legal and if you kill one let us know because you da man!!

Hmm not sure I'd say give ur a shot Forsure

Do like our lease manager, drive around at night and shoot um from the window of your truck off the side of the road with your pistol.

Still legal and they taste the same mmmmmmmmmm.


I just let my son blast em nowadays. He gets the fun, I get the venison=win win

If you've got a full moon (well lit) ,and only turn the light on once you are at full draw, I think you could pull it off.

Wish i could find a place with Axis that didnt charge extra to chootem

Hmmm, interesting. I was thinking if a red light doesn't scare hogs it might not scare off axis, either.

Sounds like a blast!!! One thing is for sure, they'll either spook or not spook at the light.

Ive shined several axis and blackbuck at night at the ranch in Stonewal wt a regular qbeam. Some ran some didnt. Never did shoot any at night but i coulda killed a pile of em with a rifle. In retrospect i shoulda shot every **** one of em.

Ya, I've hit them with a regular spotlight from the truck before and it didn't seem to bother them. I guess I'll find out if the red light works or not...

[b.latiolais]

Let us know how it works for you. I'd be tempted to try it myself.
