No hogs, just coyotes, lots of coyotes. Just be aware that the LEDs use different voltages. A white LED burns the longest. A red LED lasts about half as long. The green, somewhere in between.
Positive ID beyond 260 yards is difficult, worse with the colored lights. All of them will reflect eyes way beyond rifle range, but seeing a body is easier with white light; it's technicolor. The red and green LEDs only show animals in shades of gray. Reflected light from a single wavelength and all that other physics stuff.
I've got the XLR, a couple of Wickeds, a dozen other flashlights, then 20++ more 12V vehicle attached lights, tungsten, halogen, quartz, customs, a few HIDs. The best, at least the one I like the best is a flipper, a red lens over a white Grumman aircraft landing light, the Q4509. The lens is thick, the light dim, but the eyes show up a long way off. Flip the lens, the white light bright, and best for the shot.
You can scan and shoot with just about anything. Nothing is absolutely 100% true about predators all the time, especially after dark. I started night hunting in the mid-90s, so someone here has probably been doing it longer and better for sure.
