If you’re looking to add a few headlamps to your arsenal, here are a some you can count on without question. The following headlamps were tested and approved for hunters by a hunter. You certainly don’t want that to be a result of inadequate lighting. It’s one of the worst thing a hunter will have to deal with. Hunters need an intense, penetrating light that will show the way to and from the stand, and provide the necessary night vision to follow a blood trail and find a dead deer in the woods. I mean a headlamp you can fully depend upon when the trophy of a lifetime is on the line.
And at the same time, the light must fulfill any requirement once the sun goes down. I’m talking about a quality piece of equipment that is capable of standing up to the abuse a hardcore deer hunter is known for. When I say “good,” I’m not suggesting you spend $20 at your local hardware store and be satisfied.
