Hogs don't like my light?

Need to learn how to listen to them also while in the dark. That's the fun part.

And using a low intensity red light versus a bright red light helps also. It will just reduce how far you can shoot.

Not sure how listening to them will help when hunting over bait. No matter what sound they make they either come in or they don't. Please explain. With that said I really do listen to them but it doesn't really help me to kill them but it does let me know weather I got busted or not except if you have one growling in the bushes and you have pigs at the feeder. The one growling is probably a sow and she is trying to warn the other pigs that something isn't right. If you encounter this you better shoot one quick because the chances are they will all be gone soon. If you hear ear flapping, that is usually a boar and he senses something isn't quite right and he will probably circle until he catches your scent. Every once in a while one will come in though after flapping his ears. Pigs have such a extensive vocabulary and many of the sounds sound so similar I can't differentiate one from another. Now if your trying to call in pigs then you better know what sounds to make.

There is a reason I design our lights the way I do. With our 20LRX and 38LRX bow lights they can be dimmed down enough you could not see well enough to shoot ten yards yet they can be set bright enough to shoot out to 70 yards in red with the 20LRX or 100 yards with our 38LRX. My whole goal is to have a light that gives bow hunters the best opportunity to kill a hog and I believe I've accomplished this with both our 20LRX and 38LRX bow lights. Since I've only killed 500+ hogs with my bow at night I do have a little knowledge on the subject and every light I design I design it to what I think will work the best in a hunting situation. I do this because I want the best possible light on my bow.

I'll give that a try!

I need to get one of those red lights.

This is why I use the white landscape lights that have a photocell to turn 'em on at dark. Hogs don't spook like they do when you use a gun/bow mounted light. I figured this out abut 8 years ago when they would spook every time I would get my rifle light on them--no matter whether from top, bottom, back or front, when the red light got to their eyeballs, they were gone. Can't remember where I heard about the landscape lights, but now my two hog stands have them up, and the hogs just waltz right in and stick their faces in the corn, and catch an arrow, bullet, or buckshot.
