Surefire fury flashlight

To make a long story short, my hunting buddy and I ended up having to hike into a steep pine covered canyon to take care of a bull he shot, just before dark. We had moved it down where we could quarter it out, and lay it out to cool, until the next morning when we could come up the bottom with a deer cart. Anyway, by the time we were finished, there was no moon, and we were so deep into the canyon we could barely see any stars. I'm telling you, without light I COULD NOT see my hand in front of my face. We both had several lights, but when he punched the Surefire to high beam, it was amazing. This thing is 500 lumins, and it lit up the whole mountain like it was daylight. It's about as small as most small hand helds, although it is a little heavier. It costs close to $150.00. but that light is the one thing I'm planning on getting as a Christmas gift. Anyone have any good/bad things to say about this light, or have any other suggestions on light with multiple lumin settings?

My kids bought me a Surefire light 2 years ago. There are a few things I would never go hunting without and that little light is one of them !!! I put a lanyard on mine and hook it to my pack then stuff it in the side pocket on the pack that way I can stuff it back in my pack or just let go of it and not worry about loseing it. Great light for sure.
