In Pennsylvania it is against the law to have a light attached to your gun. We can not use lazers and we can not use night vision scopes.
We have to use a hand held light. Now the hand held light can be operated by the caller for the shooter. Many people use a spot light that is first pointed on the horizon then dropped down until the bottom of the white light beam lights up the predator. The shooter then takes the shot.
I attach a shooting scope light to a 12 inch piece of broom handle and hold it under the shotgun forearm when it is time to shoot. Tough. you bet but it can be real sporting in PA. LOL
With scoped rifle I use a small AA Brinkman with a red lens on about 20 inches of broom handle. I light up the eyes of the fox then use my scoped rifle to shoot between the eyes. The more MM scope you use the better it gathers light. I use 40 MM on my 17 REM CF.
On real dark nights I have to light up the cross hairs on the scope.
