I have semi-poor vision, and have always had trouble finding the first sign of a blood trail. I Bought a Gerber Blood Tracking Light this year from Bass Pro because I always saw it there and never wanted to sp[end my own money. I got a gift card as a Christmas present so I decided that I would give this thing a try.

I had a shoulder shot on a 110 pound doe with a 225 gr. Powerbelt - not the best place for this bullet. I knew I hit it because it stumbled hard and then fell into a fence, but then got up and took off.

I couldnt track it because there were so many fresh tracks in the mud - a crossing point between two streams and two fencelines. I could not see a drop of blood anywhere from the place where the deer was first shot untill where I saw it hit the fence. After that I lost track of it and couldnt see it.

All I could do is go in a semi-circle from the point from where I saw it hit the fence to look for blood. I used this tracking light and was able to see one lone drop of blood, about ten feet from where I was looking.

On the right backdrop, blood stands out and looks like it is florescesent. I would have lost this deer for sure because it was pitch black by this time and I had crossed the fence into the farmers ground beside mine. I wouldnt have gone back the next day because he is nuts and might shoot if he saw a tresspasser.

I reccommend trying out this tracking light, I will always use it - especially on bad shots.
