I'm curious as well. Reviews appear mixed. It is only 20$, wouldn't hurt to try it out.

I've used one before, I wasn't impressed. The light is supposed to make the red blood appear as black and shiny. I suppose it does, but so does everything else that is red. When I used it, there were wet red leaves all over the ground and the blood didn't stand out at all. I found a bright flashlight worked better for me.
I suppose if you hunted where it was mostly sand, rock, or pine needles on the ground, it might work better. Then again, a bright flashlight would work there too.

Tried something similar a few years back. Had about the same impression that Palehorse did. Went back to keeping a spray bottle with Hydrogen Peroxide around. HP makes the blood bubble up. Just spray a bit and the blood shows up while the red leaves don't change.

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

I have tried a couple of different flavors of "blood lights".

In my opinion, they are Snake Oil.

A bright white light has done the best for me.

I like Elusive Wildlife Tech's stuff, but when they released their "new" wizz-jamb-it blood light a couple of years ago, I expressed my complete dissatisfaction with their original that I bought and was sceptical of the new one.
All they said was... Yeah, the old one wasn't any good. You should buy the new one.

I have always had a primos bloodhunter and the other day it just simply didn't work (maybe it's getting wore out). However I had just purchased one of those phone power juice packs from walmart. I bought the green and camo one that comes with a flashlight. I was using it as a flashlight and the blood trail beamed right up. I'm not sure if the light was meant to be a blood light or if I got lucky but that blood was glowing bright and I hardly had to stop walking and walked straight to both deer that were bleeding. The buck did not have an exit wound and I got lucky as heck to find it!

Not sure of the brand of mine, but someone gave me a blood light for Christmas one year. Fresh blood turns to a dark neon orange color. << I know that may not make sense, but the best way I can describe it.
