hi guys, i have tried red filters and even the "red dot" sights, but the birds will still spook, well, the woodies and maggies will spook. pheasants and ferals will sit there like muppets, even when undere 500,000 cp lamp!!! lol, but of course, shooting birds at night with an artificial light is illegal.... so dont do it when the leaves are off the trees we shoot an amount of quarry by just using their sillouette, forget the "moonlit" nights that people seem to think you need, its cloud you really want. Nice pink cloud. everything is visable, and i have no worries with quarry identification.
