I've never hunted at night with spot lights always felt it a large negative with bringing in dogs and it plays heck with your eyes, even the red lens's mess you up if to bright.
So I invested in a 2nd Gen Russian Sniper scope many years ago, and had a friend machine a mount for a light weight 223 bolt action short barrel winchester. I sighted it in for 100 yds one night with some help from a friend.
Now prior to this purchase I had already bought several different types of observation monucalurs in 2nd gen as well, I used these to observe called in dogs at night and watch how they came in and their actions, which were surprising.
Most ran right in on top of the call and never stopped till close, it seemed they never bothered to check for wind, just came on in.
This knowledge came in handy when I started night calling with the scope and no light, I would go with a friend and we would alternate calling and shooting as we only had my night scope, I had a electronic call which I had already grown accustomed to using, and also so I would not be winded when I needed to shoot. This was years before the new remote digitals too, I just sat it in front of us.
We sat up in elevation when ever we had the chance and when calling the guy observing would be able to pick the dog/s up out at about 200 to 330yds on a nice moon night. He would give direction and the other would scope up on them and wait for them to stop. Then drill them.
Now that all sounds great until you realize at night you lose all depth preception and you should learn real quick to range you out some spots, LOL it took us about three stands to realize we were missing cause we guessed the dogs to far out and were shooting over them.
I still have this setup and it works very well, however it's difficult to night hunt with so many people out now days.
Great times I'd reccomend it especially for private or locked out ground.
