wtnhunt Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Saw this new flashlight in the cableas archery catalog Thursday afternoon. Looks pretty cool if it really works like they claim that it does. Supposedly it uses some sort of new patent pending bulb that shows up the blood in the dark, making it stand out better. Anyone else seen this or have any idea how well it might work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: New Gerber carnivore bloodlight? Interesting concept if it really works.... The Gerber Carnivore Blood Tracking Light is a light designed for and by hunters. This is already one of the most requested items this Spring, even prior to it's release. Utilizing TRAX technology; an innovative design that takes calibrated multiple light spectrums that makes the red color of blood highly visible. A trigger swithc allows you to toggle between the TRAX system and a bright 45 Lumen Xenon bulb. Unique pistol grip and quick deploy 4AA battery cartridge allow for a comfortable grip and easy battery changes. Sheath and a lanyard included. It's retailing for around $ 54.95 ,, I think I'll wait to see if it really works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: New Gerber carnivore bloodlight? Yep, that would be it. If it really works or even helps much, I wouldnt mind having one. I really have troubles seeing colors in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: New Gerber carnivore bloodlight? That's an interesting looking light for sure. Now if we could just get the company to use us as ginnipigs we'd be all set. Someone should tell them we give great reviews for great products.

I think you should email them for their latest knife Sherm, aren't too many goof balls out there that take deer on with their bare hands, eh?

Been a big fan of gerber knives for a long time. Think Steve used a competitors brand of knife Chris, Gerber might not like that, doesnt really help their advertising.

snapper Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Re: New Gerber carnivore bloodlight? rutt...no one is taking anyones money, we have the right to choose to buy it or not. I do agree that there is alot of gimic ideas out there...but even some of the best trackers lose the blood trail at times. I feel if this light "does" work and only 1 deer is recovered using it...its worth the money. Most if not all of us have modern bows, guns, treestands, camo etc etc....to help us afield. This product is no different. I'm very curious to find out if it works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
