Predator Control Rig: Can-Am Defender Night Hunting Setup
Set up a Can-Am Defender for hogs and coyotes after dark: scanning lights, gun mounts, quiet storage, and recovery gear for night hunting.
Hogs, coyotes, and other predators cost landowners real money, and most of that work happens after dark from a moving Can-Am Defender.
A night rig needs three things the factory Defender does not have: light you can aim and dim, a safe way to carry and deploy a rifle, and enough recovery gear that a wet creek crossing at 2 a.m. does not turn into a long walk.
The products here are what holds up on working ranches running year-round predator pressure.

Can-Am Defender questions
+Is night hunting legal?
Night-hunting rules vary widely by state, species, season, land type, and local ordinance. Check current state wildlife-agency rules and contact a local conservation officer when required.
+What color light is best for hogs and coyotes?
Green and red are the standards. Green throws farther for scanning, red spooks less at close range. Many hunters run a green scan light on the Defender cage and a red light on the rifle.
+How do I wire auxiliary lights on a Can-Am Defender?
Use a fused relay harness pulled from the battery with a switch panel in the dash area, not a bare tap off an accessory circuit. Most Defender models have a factory accessory block rated for limited amperage only.
+What recovery gear should I carry at night?
A synthetic recovery strap, a rated shackle, a set of traction boards, and a hand winch or powered winch. Wet tanks and sandy creek bottoms are where night runs go wrong.
