Does anyone have experience with the use of blue lenses to help follow a blood trail? Does it really help? Thanks.
 
Blue filters for your flashlight?

Blue light is supposed to help show blood at night. I have read that blood will appear completely black.
 
I read that a blue light will show up blood, so I tried it. Not real successful. Remember that a blood trail is likely to be very thin, and a few tiny black spots on the weeds at night is not much going to be much help.

If it lit them up the way it does a dayglo label, THAT would help, but it doesn't. :D
 
You want a UV light or one with a royal blue luxeon. As always, when talking about these matters, please refer to CPF. ;)

Maybe you should try a "gamefinder", iirc this is a handheld device that tracks the bodyheat of the shot animal and transfers it into a signal
 
I tried the blue lens on my Surefire Outdoorsman light and didn't have much luck trailing a deer I shot last fall. I think you need a fair amount of blood for it to work. Not really sure if would matter though.

What we do for tracking if a deer or bear is lost is waite for night, and use a Coleman whitegas lantern. the blood on the ground will luminess.
