I tried one. Being color blind, I thought maybe they'd be a godsend. Didn't do squat in my opinion.

Peroxide in a spray bottle works better

They work pretty well from what I hear, a lot of people use them.

I bought one of those back when they first came out, didn't do squat for me. I could see where peroxide might work well, but the thing that has always worked best for me is just the brightest flashlight or spotlight you can buy. SUPER BRIGHT. Really helps the blood to pop, even small specks.

How do you use the peroxide spray. If you don’t see blood, do you randomly spray an area?

I assume the Peroxide will make any blood "Cook" like on a cut when you were a kid.
I only saw them in stores for like one season and they went quick, but I never got a chance to try one or heard of anybody that did.

Blood tracking flashlight didn't help me any.

Best thing I've found to help when blood trailing is to shoot the deer in the right spot with a .30 cal bullet or a Wasp Jak-Hammer 100 grain expandable broadhead.

6mm
.243 I've Folded, dropped more deer with a scapula shot or other Shots...haven't lost any.

.30 cal isn't the fix- it's shot location

Shoot careful. If that don’t work theres lots more deer. Shoot another. Coyotes will find it. They need to eat to.

There's a reason that you can't find them anywhere.

They didn't work for squat !
