speaking of deer, i had been mad at myself since tuesday night, heres what happened. i went to the boys stand where i saw a absolute moose sat. watched at least 20 deer on the other side where my usual stand is and felt dumb. dark, i got ready to get down and herd some thing, thought i saw a limb moving in the wind but there was no wind. 50mm scope, i could see a deer about 80yds, it had antlers but i couldnt tell how much...........i should not have shot, but i did. blind from muzzle flash, i had no clue what happened, couldnt see shit. sat there for about ten minutes and got down, went and looked for blood/hair..............................
......................
.......................
about an hour, i even looked inside the edge of the woods, nothing. i must have missed? how? must have?
yep, i gave up.
thought about it all night and decided i could not have missed. went out there the next day in the rain to look around, and maybe still hunt.
half down the lane, there it was with a buzzard sittin on it, he had run straight out in the middle of the field, only about 60yds from he was hit. it was a decent 10pt buck, prolly close to 200lb. really pissed now, i got the four wheeler and headed back to get it out of the field.
critters had eated on it all night, i wasnt gonna take it home, so i drug it in the woods where no one hunts. super pissed at myself.

last night, me and oldest went. he shot early, i knew he had some thing down. about 445 a big doe and three smaller ones come out, i figure im gonna figure out what happened tuesday, so i put the cross hair about mid chest for lungs and squeeze. deer jumps about 6 feet straight up and hauls ass to the woods. i see where it went so i get down to go see if there is blood..........lots, every where. it was about 40yds in the woods. i marked a spot and started up to the truck. met Dev there and he said he shot a nice 8pt, so we go get it loaded, then go to the other side for my doe. now its dark. i said lets try some thing, i knew right where the blood trial was and it was good one so we took a good LED light and an 18v incandescent flashlight. the LED you couldnt see any blood at all, the whole ground looked grey. with the incandescent light, the blood showed up great, reflected off the blood puddles.
me, my 30yo son, and the landowner all three agreed the LED sucked and none of us could see the blood with it. so i know where i fucked up tuesday, i know im half blind but having a light that dont show blood sure as hell didnt help.

tl,dr, i know fuck heads, but if you hunt get a god damned regular light so you dont fuck up like i did. im in the market for a real good incandescent light, if such a thing is still made.

Yea incandescent lamps are way better for tracking. When I hunted coon I had a Nite Lite headlamp with a 6v battery I wore on my waste. I could see everything.
At that point LED lights started getting popular, much smaller batteries,brighter, lighter etc.
After one hunt I sold it, not near as good in the woods. The bright light washed everything out. I tried LED flashlights for tracking deer in the past and they flat out don’t work as good as a good old incandescent light in the woods.

UV light might make the blood glow ?

UV light might make the blood glow ?

they say a blue filter works well, but i am now convinced the yellow light of an incandescent bulb is best. i see maglight does still offer traditional incandescent flashlights.........prolly have to order one, i doubt local stores carry any. we have been told LED is better, it is not.

 

[treeslayer2003]

next question, what is the brightest incandescent flashlight?

LED street lights
And if you have LED on your fucking chariot, congratulations, you can see, nobody else can

Fuck off

 

[Plan-b]

You can get a cheep florescent black light. They tale 3 or 4 D battaries.

They changed all the street lights here to led, and now i cant see shit. When i go to places that have the old style lighting im always amazed at how much better i see. High pressure sodium for the win.

[treeslayer2003]

xenon............sounds made up huh? i wonder if its a yellow light or that cursed white like an led?

 

[roberte]

A good flashlight
An 80s or 90s cop mag light

they still make um, up to 6D cell. i am considering how long a one i can conveniently carry.

 

[treeslayer2003]

but they have three choices for each size, LED, xenon and traditional incandescent.
i dont know as i ever seen or used a xenon light.
