[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1424227, member: 5412"] On a recent trim to NM, we had a pair of coyotes approach our hidey-hole. I got a couple of pics of them. It was getting pretty dark, and my partner in the blind, pulled out his CCW with a laser, and triggered the laser on the snow right in front of the coyote. That dog jumped straight up into the air, doing a 180 and bolted like no other!:D:D Then I got to thinking. I've played with my dogs before using a laser, but at the same time we have all read how red lights cannot be seen by animals. Predator hunters in lots of states other than OK use them on a regular basis. What is it about the laser that makes it visible to an animal, where an incadescent bulb in red is invisible? Different frequency in the light spectrum? [attach=full]85009[/attach] [/QUOTE]
