For woodlot hunting or farting around, everyone has their preferences and favorites. If you need a serious light with incredible brightness and a loooonnggg battery life, the PD30 is a tough one to beat. The size of a mini mag, but unbelievable in comparison. It is like carrying a car headlight in your pocket. I can shine a whole field on my way out of a woodlot if I want. I used it at night biking in and out of colorado mountains for a week, then 1/2 the bow season in MI, and finally had to change the batteries. You honestly have to try it if you haven't yet. I just got one for my dad for xmas. He couldn't believe what a light it is. Varmint hunting is a no brainer. No more spotlights!
