Pigs at night.

[beastep]

Now that deer season is over its time to get after the pigs. I do most of it at night with a permit from the GW. Just bought a weapons mounted light system by Cyclops. First time I have had anything like that actually gun mounted. I've only used it once but it seems fantastic. I think Ill go again tonight.
If yall have a favorite setup let me know. Im always open to learn.

Sounds like fun! Good luck, and snap some pics for those of us who can only dream of hunting hogs....

Are all lights prohibited at night without a permit? Or it is only portable spotlights?

Just wondering if a pole-mounted light counts.

I cant remember for sure but I think its states no artificial light at all.

But they are mostly controlled by the department of ag. Thats why I just went ahead and got a permit form the local GW.

I used a Laser Genetics gun mounted green light quite a bit over the years with great success.

My favorite setup is helmet mounts PVS14 with IR laser on a suppressed rifle. 6.5 Grendel, 300 blackout or 458 SOCOM. We cruise around the farm in a lifted golf cart. NV compatible Eotech or Aimpoint works good too as does a 2.5-10x56 Trijicon scope but the laser makes it so easy to acquire the target without having to align your optic. Helmet mounted is great for patrolling. I have IR illuminators from TNVC but find that I rarely need them. A counterweight on your MICH helmet makes it much more comfortable.
