Why can they see regular white lights? Can they see any colored lights?

something about how they see the ultraviolet spectrum. they see whit lights because they are soo bright. green is a duller light in the ultraviolet spectrum, so if they can see it, it shouldnt be enough to spook them. i use a red lens in my flashlight (when i use one) and have never had a deer spook, and i have gotten in the stand to have deer bedded down by my stand after using a streamlight (green) and my red light

I have a green stylus light. A small buck watched me climb my tree before daylight and didn' t spook. He hung around until daylight. I let him walk.

I' ve got a stylus too. Best light I' ve ever bought. Slim and easy to use. Haven' t had any deer around that I know of while walking in. But then again I haven' t heard any blow so apparently I haven' t spooked any.
