Sawhorse-Mounted, Solar-Powered Spotlight
 |
“I bought a solar-powered light equipped with a motion sensor at Home Depot and mounted it on a 3-ft. tall sawhorse. It works great when backing up to an auger hopper at night during harvest,” says Zigler. “I also use it to get rid of varmints. By setting the spotlight next to a natural runway for wildlife and baiting it, I can catch coyotes as they activate the light and shoot them. I’ve also used it to hunt deer this way on DNR-sanctioned crop damage hunts.
“The spotlight I use has a timer that can be set so the light will stay on for 5 or 10 min. after activation. It also has a manual setting so it won’t go off unless I turn it off, and a sensitivity setting for the distance from which it will activate.”
He paid about $55 for his solar-powered light.
