Tracking aids

[kzcycle]

Anyone have experience with blood tracking flashlights? Last year I shot a doe right below my stand and couldn't find her before the coyotes did. I've always known I'm red/green color blind and am curious if the blood tracking lights will help at all. I've bought a couple primos blood hunter lights with the different colored led's. Also bought some of that luminol spray that's supposed to foam up fluorescent blue upon contact with blood. Any other color blind hunters know if these lights or the spray will help? I'll be hunting with my grandfather soon but he's color blind too so won't be much help tracking. Thanks.

I've used the Blue Star spray- amazing stuff, just don't use it up too fast.

I couldn't find bluestar anywhere locally. Bought the version from wildgame innovations called "After Shot." I can see blue so that stuff should work if I can find the initial trail. Hopefully those lights will help with that.

Dont buy the remington hand held or hat mounted.... waste of money

I tried one of those lights (Gerber) a couple of years ago on a buck my buddy shot. It made the blood stand out just a little better than the regular light but I wasn't all that impressed. The light was given to me. If I had to spend my own money on one I would pass. I heard the spray stuff works well.
