adam Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sure have ! I would recommend bringing a propane lantern and setting it in the area you are beeping. Use a headlamp as well. The reason for the lantern is hopefully it will attract the bugs more than your headlamp. The bugs in certain times of the year can be really bad using just a headlamp. Also remember that Mountain lions hunt at night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dont over think it with the night vision stuff. You need regular eyes to see the targets. Its alot harder to hunt at night than it sounds, but it can be alot of fun. Try to do it on a full moon.Scorpions are all over the place too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garimpo Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 scarecrow....I buy Sawyer insect repellent from Cabelas....it's a spray on for your clothes and last for sixwashings....kills chiggers...ticks...mites...and mosquitoes....possibly scorpions...don't think it would helpany on mountain lions but I believe (hope they run from the human scent)....Here in Brazil I do a fair amount of night hunting....but only with a full moon....a lot of trees and vegetationhere plus a lot of really bad snakes....like the ones that like to put the squeeze on you...I worry more aboutthe "bushmasters" and many many hornets....here one or two people every year are killed by hornet stings....The only light I use is a small two cell AA rechargeable with red lens when digging....reason for the redlens is some of the folks here live in the jungle and will come to a light at night....these type of folks are thekind you don't want to have anything to do with...Wear long pants....long sleeved shirts and some kind of covering on your head that will protect your headand neck....leg protection is a must have...Be sure your GPS has good batteries so you can find your truck later....good luck and have fun...
