To get up to a large gator I've read that the use of a dimmer on your light helps. Is this marketing bs or is a dimmer worth having? |

Depends on where you're at and how much "heat" they get, I've gone as far as night vision and IR illuminators to see them.... |

But overall a less bright light or shining it up helps, I think most animals react to lights as if its closer or farther rather than brighter or dimmer...the brighter it is, the closer they think you are.... |

Never fooled with a dimmer but we seem to get closer with a red light vs. white. |

Cool. I have a red filter for my spot light. Im planning on doing quite a bit of looking before the hunt date so I will do some experimenting to see what works the best. |

We usually just hunt them during daytime. Only night hunting we do is when we have tags left going into the end of the season. |

MS wised up and finally let us hunt them 24/7 during our season. They are easier for sure during the day, if you can spot them. During the night, I use a red lens. |
