Default Tracking Blood Trail With Blue Light

Not sure where to put this post as I am pretty new here. I am sure that some of you know about using a high intensity light with a blue lense to track wounded game at night. The intense blue light makes the blood stand out like it is illuminated. Any droplet of blood on a twig, the ground or on grass will stand out-a bright red on a brownish background. Have never had to use it myself buthave helped others to find their deer. The light is always in my bag.

I've always found an old style Coleman Lantern with the cloth mantles to work real good for that purpose. I've heard of the blue light being used, but never used one myself. How many use a stride stick? If you have any kind of animalwalking off, take a stick and measure the distance between foot prints. When you loose track of the animal and find no blood, set that measure stick on the last print and it will usually point/mark where to look for the next foot print. This is slow going mind you, but it can help you get over the hard parts of a track job.

I won a "Black Ice Browning light" at a DU event, it has(LED) 2 red, 2 blue, 2 white andxenon middle bulb. With a click you switch between the 4 lighting sequences. I haven't used it yet other than the regular bulb, after your post I am interested how it will fair.
