Primos Hunting Bloodhunter HD, Advanced Shadow Free Blood Tracking Light for Night Hunting

Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas. Then found out he had been cheating on me. At least he has something that will be a constant reminder of how awesome I was. Works great.

Used it all season and had quite the array of scenarios when it came to tracking deer. In grass and leaves it makes it a bit easier. Where this really shines is when trailing in pine needles. Made quite the difference.

The color is great - it really does make the blood trail much more visible. Unfortunately, the on/off switch was crummy. Button wasn't great from the get-go, but completely stopped working at about 2 months - just beyond the return window. Going to be a tough call putting down this much money again. If you get this, shell out for the extended warranty option.UPdate: Color is amazing - really makes the blood trail far easier to spot. If you see reviews that say otherwise... well, some people are color blind. I had a problem with the button after 2 months and called customer service - super easy and they sent me a replacement without giving me a hard time. Turns out manufacturer warranty is 1 year. Best NOT to shell out any additional money for extended warranty.

I have heard numerous good things about this light for blood tracking, so I decided to get when to use this bow season. I tested the light itself on some blood I keep around for training dogs and it worked very well, and I feel confident it will make life easier in a hunting situation should the need arise. The one complaint I have is that it uses batteries you wouldn't normally see and the ones that came with the device expired a year before I even bought it. This being said they did work but once I went to the store and was able to find the correct batteries the Bloodhunter uses you could tell a noticeable difference between the expired batteries it came with and the new ones. For the money you would at least hope that it came with good batteries.

I have bought several of these for our hunting party, got use out of them last year and the guys really liked them. It absolutely makes the red pop. That being said, anything red on the ground will stand out, including leaves. I wouldn't spend 100 bucks on one, but every now and then there's a sale and you can get one from 45-60 bucks on amazon.

Got my first chance to try this light on Oct. 23, 2018. I got a good hit on a doe with a Spitfire broadhead and was eager to try this thing out. I hunt a lot in the evening, and after reading the positive reviews, I decided if it helped me to recover just one deer, it was worth the $50 bucks I gave for it. I will say that it does exactly what it claims. All colors that are in the “red/orange” area of the color spectrum somehow absorb the light this thing emits. Consequently, it does make these specific colors stand out more than with an ordinary light. I used it side by side with a standard LED light that evening and I must say I was impressed with its performance. It has two brightness settings, and I actually found the lower setting to be the better of the two. The light is a bit heavy, but IMO well worth carrying on those evening hunts. Now with this said, I did notice that the blood stood out better on certain backgrounds than it did on others. Also, I probably wouldn’t let this light fully replace your standard light for general use. I also cannot speak to its durability and battery conservation, as I’ve only used it the one time for like 30 minutes. I will say from now on it will be a utilized tool in my arsenal for evening deer hunts.

First and foremost - IT WORKS! Make sure your white light flashlight or headlamp isn't on or aimed in the same place, it will wash out the light filtering of this flashlight. In the dark this light makes blood glow neon red/pink!Now if you want you can read my review:Bought this flashlight with some skepticism but I am very impressed. I used first after arrowing a deer in an open field, not to find the deer, but to follow the blood trail backward to find my arrow.Used a second time on a deer thar was arrowed and ran through the trees/forest. in daylight was able to follow the trail easy enough but it ended at the edge of the trees and the trial was lost. once the sunset I followed the trail again and found some small specks of blood that had been missed in daylight, the deer doubled back its own trail and then split off with almost no indication, the light saved me having to grid the forest or walk the neighbors property for no reason.The light has metal construction, is quite robust and has the weight of a quality item.
