re: Light for tracking blood at night

I don't have s specific flashlight for blood trailing deer. I use a powerful headlight so my hands are free in case I have to make a shot. If I feel like I've made a good shot (good sight picture, deer acts like it was hit, sounds of deer crashing through the woods) but I didn't see the deer go down, I like to wait at least 15 minutes. I might get down sooner if's nearing dark. Sometimes a really bright light can "wash out" the blood so you might find it works better using the edges of the light. Use as few as helpers (if any) as needed. Too many trackers in the woods can damage the trail, especially if the tracker's not very experienced.
