Night Hunting 101: Gear, Scouting, and Setup Basics (From the Archive)

From the Archive. Still relevant.

In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of night hunting predators, what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters when you’re getting started.

We cover:

• Why predators often move more at night (and when daylight still wins)

• Scouting first: learning the land, backstops, and stand locations before you hunt at night

• Tripods vs truck/rack setups (and what dictates the right choice)

• Lights vs thermals vs night vision — pros/cons and how tactics change

• Bright moon nights, shadows, and why “more light” is often the answer

• Target identification mistakes people don’t talk about

• Budget-friendly starter kit and how to avoid blowing money on the wrong gear

• Batteries, backups, and cold-weather realities

If you’re new to night hunting or rebuilding your system for this season, this is a solid reset on the basics.
