WestKyTeacher Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Is there any proof or your beleif that certain color lights do or do not spook deer when walking to your stand? I did a search and only found a thread with members saying which light they used, but I can't find any info as to which light would be better to use: regular, red, blue, green, etc. Also, are you less likely to spook deer with or without a light? Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I don't remember where I read it, but it seems like they don't see green or red very well, but see blue very well. I usually go in and out in the dark without a light. The only time I use one is when I'm trailing one, and then I'm not really worried about spooking it, cause they are usually dead.

wtnhunt Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Have heard that green will not spook them, but honestly have never tried using a green light walking in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Not sure.I use a small red on when I need it.It's not near as bright and my eyes don't need to adjust after I turn it off.Most of the time I don't use on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogg6 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I started using a green light this year and that to isn't near as bright, but gives me enough to find my walk plank over the creek so I don't end up in the creek. As far as spooking deer, not sure. I would think the noise is going to spook them no matter what color light you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
