Default RE: Coleman Lantern for tracking

We've used Coleman lanterns for years for tracking deer. On a side note, did you know that even the older lanterns...prior to the Dual Fuel series came out can run on regular gasoline too? We have 1 dual fuel and 2 old ones, all of which run on 92 Octane gasoline, white gas is filtered a little more, but that's all we could tell the difference. Just a hint for ya'll if ya don't have any white gas. Another effective way to track deer is if you have a booster pack for vehicles (little yellow box with jumper cables ya know) just about all of them have a 12 volt outlet for your regular spotlight....talk about lighting up a woods....lol

One I'm interested in though, a guy was telling me today about using a black light for tracking.....said it makes the blood glow. Is this true and has anyone tried it? I watch the TV show CSI, and the the lights they use for biologic evidence appear to black lights, and the stuff...blood...glows like crazy. Anyone here tried it??
