I heard someone say a blue light is the best light for tracking a blood trail at night. Any truth to that?

Using a lantern works best for me.The Blue light didnt work very well

One more reason to not hunt in the evening, or at least get real picky about shot selection. I use a flat flashlight that I can hold in my teeth. Never liked the feel of a round flashlight in my mouth for dressin' or trackin' at night. Some things jus' ain' t natural.

I' ve never tried a blue light, just a flashlight, but that always worked fine.
BeaverJack, you crack me up!

Has anyone tried hydrogen pyroxide spray. Small spots of blood are very hard to see on the ground and the hydrogen pyroxide makes it bubble so is easier to spot.

I am not sure but think it may be the main ingredient in Starlight Bloodhound, not sure on the name. It is a product advertised as the solution to following a blood trail at night.

The only time that I have found hydrogen pyroxide to work well is when you are not sure if a red drop is blood or not, or when you find a piece of a clot. It works well if you have a lot of berries in the area, or a lot of leaves with red spots on them . Other then that hydrogen pyroxide doesn' t seem to work well.

Does the pyroxide work on dried blood, or is it effective on wet blood only? Blood dries pretty quickly out here in Utah.

Use a lantern with white gas not propane... not sure what the difference is but it reflects differently off the blood. Or better yet call in a tracker with dogs!!!

The gases burn at a different temperature thus color, would be my guess why white gas shows blood better than propane. Like taking a color photo under incandesant light always comes out yellow. The white gas lantern light has properties that reflect blood well. Is it the color? Wonder if white gas burns with a bluer light than propane? Which would lend support to the blue light theory.

But, nobody has ever tried blue light?
