What is the BEST Thermal for Coon Hunting? We recently wrote a blog about hunting lights but thermals are another important tool for the woods that people have a LOT of opinions about. Buying a more expensive thermal doesn’t mean it’s ALWAYS better, especially when it comes to coon hunting. It’s about finding the best thermal for YOU.

Again, we don’t consider ourselves to be experts on the subject, but we don’t leave the house without a thermal if we are...

What is the BEST coon hunting light? This is such a loaded question and I see it EVERY DAY. Someone gets on Facebook and posts the question and then everyone gives their opinion.

Just wanted to give a little info on what we think is a great hunting light. We sell a LOT of amazing lights (Click here to see a video of them in action), but I can't wear a dozen of them at once when I hit the woods. When Sunspot released their Sniper light I grabbed one and started testing it. I loved it so much I'm still testing it a year later... The natural colored main beam is about the brightest on the market, the red light will illuminate any tree and it's fallen off my head due to...
