Gentlemen;
I night hunt in Virginia, with little success. I spoke with two hunters who claim to be successful who told me that the use of ANY light (including IR light) will kill your chances of calling any coyotes in the east at night. I have noticed that my trail cameras (that project IR light) seem to spook coyotes although it seems like the trail camera lights are very close to the coyotes and they seem to be looking straight into the light when they are spooked. When you look straight into an IR light you can see a red glow. Otherwise you see no light at all.
My question is; can coyotes see IR light from a night vision scope projector.
