Call me old- fashioned, old school, behind the times, whatever. I just don't believe scientific gadgets have any place in the woods. Kind of takes away from the challenge of it all for me. A compound bow , flashlight and climbing treestand are about the limits of technology I indulge in.

If it works, it should help reduce recovery time & lost game. Personally, I prefer the old eyeball & ear method, but there have been times when poor tracking conditions would have made this piece of equipment a godsend.

I'll take my old Coleman lantern every time.

Unless that has some special kind of light filter that I'm not seeing it's really just a very bright flashlight with a slight bluish cast to the beam and competing spectrum LEDs . I can't see how tracking with a purple light will improve contrast between blood and the background anyway since red is a component of purple . If that were the case my pocket black light would work just as well and maybe even better . There are also far cheaper xenon and LED flashlights out there already . Sounds like a gimmick , I'll pass .

That would be a great invention if it works.

Being color blind, i have a ruff time tracking in daylight hours. I usually use an eight inch flourecent flash light in the evening hunts and it works extremely well.

I would have trouble spending $55 for a flashlight. Maybe I'm just cheap, but that's a lot of gas money!

Don't know how those fellas at Gerber shoot, but if ya hit em in the lungs or heart there's quite a lot of blood to follow. Kinda looks like a red carpet in the woods. Hard to miss that.
Think I'll put my $55 toward more ammo components and crank on the ol' reloaders more.

ive got a blue LED pen light and it turns blood black at night. i shot a doe with the snow on and dropped her in her tracks. i carry two of the pen lights, one is white the other blue. i had the blue one in my mouth while gutting her. anything that had blood on it turn black, kind of weird looking. my light only cost 15.00 compared to 55.00. h.h.

Sounds like an interesting idea. For me, anything that can get a deer I have killed back to the truck is a good thing. One of the best things I have tried is using Hydrogen Peroxide in a spray bottle to find/confirm blood. It foams white on contact with any body fluid, not just blood. Just keep the peroxide in it's brown bottle until you use it, because light exposure ruins it.
