Anybody ever hunt at night with a red dot scope & green spot light/cree light setup? Or does the green wash out the red dot too much?

That's a good question. I never have used the combo of red dot with green kill light. Is there a reason your not sing a standard scope with your kill light for better range?

I guess I could change out the LED on my Light and see if that works with the red dots on my EOTech at night. I got the Green LED at first on my Wicked 400 light but soon after I got it I ordered and received a white light to put on the light.
I've not had the chance to take the EOTECH out night hunting yet but plan on using it next season or this summer if I can find someplace to hunt with written permission.

Let me know if it works.

If your looking for up and close work. A 12 gauge with a Carlson or other brand coyote choke and using dead coyote #4 or 00 buck will give you up to 70 yds range. Just fyi

Obviously results will vary depending on the gun. But I've gotten decent results up 65 yds

Ive always been skeptical of using lights at night. Seems like the yotes will see you scanning back and forth and give away your location. I just use the moonlight and my trusty ol' 22-250. Ive seriously thought about buying a mounted light just to see the pros/cons first hand, but i'm doing just fine without one for now. I'm sure Ill try one in the future

Using lights at night to hunt coyotes is most Definitely an art. Having the ability to change strength and size of your beam and practicing strict light use discipline increases your success rate. Utilizing just the moonlight can be done I myself have utilized only moonlight. Only issue is that more experienced and therefgre cautious udually educated coyotes do not like traveling in moonlit nights. They know they can be scene easier on bright full moon nights. Therefore utilizing either lights or night vision#1 becomes essential to nailing those yotes. The longer I hunt them at night the more I move toward using my ears and intuition.
