What kind of distances are we talking about here? My personal recommendation, even though I'm not a hunter, would be the Nitecore P30. A single 18650 or two CR123 cell light, its larger head gives it a very good throw up to several hundred yards, with just enough spill so that one can still see the areas around the central beam. Nitecore even sells it in a hunting kit version, with a couple of different rifle/shotgun mounts, and a remote trigger.
I don't have the hunting package, but the P30 is my go to light for anything past my normal EA11 EDC. The light by itself can usually be found for around $50 USD with some judicious shopping, and I believe with the hunting kit it is about double that.
