Green Light for walk in/set up

I’ll second the sofrin. I’ve been through two seasons with it and haven’t had an issue. It’s my primary light as it’s just simple to use.

This one wasn’t bothered in the least by the white light. She had gotten as close as 8 feet before I got my phone out. She just kept feeding around me until decided to go on to the truck.

i take it you dont have lighted sight pins. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
 
Just make sure you have enough light for your travels. Sticks to the eye and stepping in big holes isn't fun!
 
I realized a few seasons ago that I make a lot more noise walking in the dark with red or green light. Only white light for me and it makes navigating so much easier. I have never seen it affect deer any differently.
 
Walking out earlier in the season using white light, I heard some shuffling to my right when I stopped to check the direction I needed to go. I turned and looked to see what was making the noise and 5 pairs of eyes glowed back at me. They only took off once I asked "What are you looking at?" I just stick to white light, they don't really seem to mind in my experience.
 
Just the other day I was walking out on a public piece I had scout/hunted that day, I hunted until legal one-half an hour after sunset and it was too dark to shoot anything anyway that day however, about two-thirds of the way back to my truck I did a quick head turn and caught a glimpse of an eye. I turned 90 degrees to my left and sure enough, three sets of eyes lit up about 12 yards away. I just looked at them and they looked at me and then I kept walking. The wind was from the north and I was heading south so they couldn't wind me but they acted like they could have cared less. This is two weeks into our gun season. Never know for sure how deer are going to react to things sometimes.
 
I had a deer blow at me while I climbed my tree with a white light last week. I was already 10-12' up before she blew.

my batteries were too low to keep the red LED on. stupid mistake.
