Have to admit, I used a Coleman lamp one night to track a deer that I shot in the last three minutes of shooting time. Went 200 yards with a double lung cut from the arrow, waited a full hour before starting. Started with the flashlight to track and the lantern was back up to watch for bears. Didn't take long before I noticed I could make out the blood better with the propane lantern. Since then, now a Coleman propane lantern is my go to light to track end of the day shot deer which I got to track in the dark. I drop ply's of toilet paper along the blood trail to help track it's path and for help to get me back out. Bring a flashlight when you want to look farther out, and as back up. Stuf happens when having fun in the dark.
