starlight bloodhound?
 

I have attempted to use starlight blood hound last year on a doe I shot late one evening. I mixed both bottles as directed but nothing happened when I sprayed blood. It actually just washed it out. has anyone used this? do you have to have a UV light to detect it? Anyone else have use this product with or without success?

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

no, I have never used it, and I don' t know anyone who has.

I was told by a friend of mine, but never tried it, that if you walk through the woods following a blood trail with a coleman propane lantern that it will make the blood have a slight glow or easy tracking.....personally, I don' t know how it is possible to make a glow on the blood with a lantern, but he said it works. I' m going to test it this year;)

Don' t wasste your money. Try peroxide if you are gonna try anything.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Yap,I' ve used the peroxide.The starlite was a little to pricey for me.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

I used it,mixed it like they said sprayed it on the blood trail and nothing,what a waste of money.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

I had the opposite problem with that crap. It seemed to light up almost everything. I could sprayit in any given direction/height and get some sort of glow out of it. Point blank Useless!!.
Somebody should sue them jokers for selling such garbage.

I know there are certain chemicals that do make blood glow under a blacklight, In fact if I remember correctly blood will glow by itself under a blacklight, I remember seeing this somewhere. Never tried starlight bloodhound but I have heard from many sources that a coleman lantern works great.

PA I think you are correct that blood will glow under blacklight hopefully a lawenforcement type will chime in here and tell us for sure , if so it would be nice to have a flashlight with a blacklight bulb .

just curious, what will peroxide do? seems to bubble on everything. i have tried to get in touch with the manufacturer on several occasions but there number is disconnected. go figure. i have used a coleman lantern before, does nothing other than make you sweat like a pig and provide better light than provided by my mini flahslight. doesn' t illuminate or make blood sparkle in my opinion.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Youre right the lantern gives better tracking light but no special effects but it works well for me. The peroxide will foam when it contacts blood. The bloodhound is just another gimmick that dont work.

I tried it last year in the rain and it lit everything up. What a waste.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Just use un-dilluted pyroxide. Works awesome, just dont overspray.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Yup, used it too, and it lit up everything it touched. Complete gimmick and waste of money. I plan on trying peroxide next, but I hope I don' t have to.

My buddies and I are big coleman lantern fans. One trick that works great. Take a piece of the thick tin foil and wrap it around the back half of the globe ( the side that is facing you). Be sure that the shiny side of the foil is facing in towards the mantles of the lantern. This serves 2 purposes. One- it keeps the glow of the lantern from being right in your eyes, so you can really see alot better in front of you and it keeps the heat off of your face some. And secondly, the foil reflects the light out front more and makes the blood shine even more. We always did this while we were catfishing. We hung one lantern behind us and then one on the ground down by our poles with the foil wrapped around it. I was blood trailing one time and thought about how good it would work for trailing. The next deer we trailed we tried it and man it made a big difference.
Another tip if you are going to use peroxide. Add a little yellow food coloring to it. It will make the peroxide foam a bright yellow when it contacts blood, but not on anything else. It workd pretty good.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Proff....good tips! I never liked using a Coleman lantern because of the spreading out of the light.....too dumb I guess to think of your tip.

Never tried Peroxide..never needed it, but if I ever do using the yellow dye sounds like a winner.

RE: starlight bloodhound?
 

Starlight didn' t work for me either. It didn' t do anything! When you say un-dilluted peroxide will it say it on the bottle?
