RE: Red light for deer
 

Never could get use to that red lenses even in the Army, but the green lenses provides a good distinction among the trees and vegetation without harming my night vision. But I still prefer no light when walking in areas I'm familiar with - except for swamps where stepping on a gator thinking he was a fallen cyress isn't a good thing.

RE: Red light for deer
 

I've nearly bumped into deer when walking into the woods using a flashlight. It doesn't seem to spook them. However, to be on the safe side, I try to get to my stands using very little--or preferably no--light at all.

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
