Default green light vs. red

Also going to go coyote hunting this weekend...and have a question. I have a red and amber lense for my spotlight...but also have a green led light that goes on my head....can yotes and other critters see green light? the commercials for this light..(streamlight) say animals cant see it...but not sure about yotes. thanx

Anything other than white light is not as easily seen at longer distances. This is the case for humans atleast. I would assume animals are the same way.

Default RE: green light vs. red

ok done some research onthis first off i was told that a coyote had vision comparible to humans with that said you should be able to make your judgement but..... varmints that are color blind (which is most of them) can only see the green and blue parts of the uv spectrum which means that they can see blue and green colors/lights. therefor if you are only hunting coyotes you could use the green light but other varmints that might respond to the calls could be able to see the light. i dont think that the lense covers made to make the light invisible to the varmints just to filter it enough so the varmints can look with it not hurting there eyes in turn letting us see the eye relection. so with that said it is your personal choice on whichone you use. i personaly do a lot of calling and have used all of the filters. i have found out that the red is the best followed by the amber. the varmints (i mainly call cats, coons, fox,and yotes here in tx.) will look at the light and people can see good enough to shoot well.


just my 2 cents hope it helps

lights dont really effect the animals, actually the lights grab their curiosity and usually look right into it and in a way hypotises them.
