I have never had to track a deer but If I did, I would use the Sure Fire . It has a very bright blue/white light. Hunting on the prairie means the deer will usually never get out of your sight.

I've never used a red light for tracking a blood trail , but it seems like the blood would be hard to see since it's also red . I use a bluish white LEDheadlamp for tracking, which has a red LED also, and I only use the red one for finding my way to my stand to avoid compromising my night vision . How would a red light make red blood more visible ?

I use my trusty coleman lantern. Works fine for me, I think its almost easier to track at night than during the day.
