Do have a green and red one but i have not used it yet in the woods.

I was setting a ground blind up in the dark using a red headlight. Heard some noise behind me. A buck was almost on top of me before he got my scent and bolted.

I also wear a backward pointing small light, red, green or blue, depending on my mood, when walking in or out of the woods. Hopefully, it'll prevent someone from mistaking me for game.

I like the red lens. Research says deer don't pick up that color of light well.

I thought that deer couldn't see any color well, except blue? And red is color that the military prefers to preserve night vision. So, what's the deal with green?

Supposedly...

Blue makes red show up brightly, so it's used for tracking blood trails, but can be seen by most animals.

Red can not be seen by animals, unless you focus the beam right on them, but it greatly diminishes the range you can see, so it's ideal for picking up the reflection of eyes of varmints.

Green can not been seen by most animals, so this color is useful for looking at things inside your blind without spooking game. Plus, the light is a lot brighter than Red, so you can see more.

I use the blue/green light on my Petzl LED headlamp all the time hunting. It generally does not spook game and preserves people's night vision.

Are they bright enough to walk in the woods without a moon?
Can you see the ground and any obstacles in your path?

I have to walk a long distance before day light, and these babies may be just what thw doctor ordered

The green LED Petzl head light is plenty bright. the one I have has a green flip up filter and 3 intensity settings plus a blinking mode. Even the lowest setting is ample to walk in the dark with the green lens without screwing up your night vision. I used red filter flashlights back in my Army days 30 years ago, but use the green filtered LED now. I have not tried red LED lights hunting. I do have a S&W LED compact flashlignt that has red, green, and white LED's. I have not used it hunting though.

Yes, Petzl (not related to our beloved David P.). They have a website and are available at Cabela's, etc. I bet Gander Mountain and other good outfitters have them too. I don't think I have seen them in the Mall Wart stores though, but maybe.

My Petzl has endured 3 elk hunts, a contruction project, and a chewing by a Lab puppy and still works. I would not categorize them as indestructable, but they are pretty well built.

My friend use the Cyclops CYC-HC5WRT Orion 5 LED Hat Clip Light, White Bulb, Realtree AP Camo for $13.26 and he loved it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see one comment on the blood trail lights, what about the primos one,has anyone used it,does it work?

I just got a green light and have to say I'm impressed. I've used red lights before and I just dont see well with them. My hunting partner also says he can spot the green light when I'm coming in from the stand from a good distance away.
