Tracking I use a mag light. I have found that blood just doesnt show up on leaves to my eyes to anything that uses an LED.
Now Field dressing I use A team Realtree Headlamp. Real bright LED. keeps the hands free and is plenty bright to light my way.

Streamlight Scorpion for tracking and field dressing. It's got a rubber coating on it, so it's a little nicer on the teeth when dressing a deer. I don't like headlamps to much, lotsa friends do, they just irritate my melon for some reason.

The Streamlight Stylus is nice for finding your stand in the mornings on a brite eye trail too.

The small Dorcey(uses 3 AAA batteries). VERY bright and the batteries last almost all season going to and from the stand and tracking deer. It's small enough to keep in your treestand bag.

I was curious if anyone has had any experience using tracking lights like this one advertised on ebay? I think others are advertised as "blue tracking lights".

I'm color blind and tracking is a ^%$#@. I need as much help as I can get. I certainly would like to hear if these are useful or not.

Roger that, a coleman 2 mantle lanter with a shield is what I use to track with and I won't ever use a flash light again to track with. We have a skinning rack at camp with flourescent lighting......If I do any dressing in the field, I set my lantern down right where I will be doing my work....
