Anyone used one they like? I have a drove coming in every night from 12:30 to3:30am. If possible, I'd like one that does not run off all my deer. Thanks

Sightmark "Wraith"
+/- $500
Other than that, there are the IR that run about $2600+.
Other than a flashlight 🔦 that attaches to your rifle or a spot light, anything that allows you to see at night is $$$$$$ PRICEY!

Scope light or a kill light mounted to a stationary object?

If you’re shooting them under a feeder wire some solar walkway lights to the legs of your feeder, the lights cost about $5 at Walmart.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

If you are going to use just a regular scope, forgo all the expensive lights. Whatever light hogs can see, deer can see as well, and colors make no difference. The gunshots will spook deer too, ya know...  If you are hunting a feeding ground, get a couple of solar, motion activated lights and mount them on T-Posts facing away from where you will be, and towards where you expect hogs. I've killed lots of hogs that way. Both deer and hogs get conditioned to the lights coming on and off, and in a couple of nights, they pay the lights no mind. https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Sensor-Outdoor-Upgrade-Waterproof/dp/B07QNQ5TXZ?ref_=ast_sto_dp![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/sHvKIN5.jpg)

I use thermal. but this is a decent feeder light. Plus, it has a magnetic base, so you could move it between feeders. Feeder light

I borrowed a Swarovski Thermal from a neighbor just now with the scope mount. Pretty bad assed. I can take it off the rifle and use it as a monocular
