RE: Flashlights in Big Buck Areas?
 

I use a light going in and I dont believe it bothers the deer at all. I just bought a Browning LED headlamp (Blue Light Technology), totally the best I have ever used. It has 5 LED's but I only need to use one (you can select one, three or all five LED's and it also has a strobe feature). Very nice. Have not tried it out tracking deer, I bet it will be a winner.

i use one when going into my stand in the morning for safety reasons. i dont care even if it does spook deer. i would rather spook deer then have an arrow go through my chest incase someonone decided to hunt my stand.

I picked up a Brinkman Rebel LED flashlight from WalMart for $15. Comes with batteries and 3 lenses. Red, amber and blue. For the price I don't think it can be beat. Brinkman Rebel LED
