I, like Cory, use a big 12 or 15 million CP rechargeable spotlight. Mine lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and does have the long 10+ hour charge time.
If this goes out on a trail I switch to my Surefire.

Thanks for the thoughts and help, guys.
I like the Coleman too, and there is one if my truck, but it doesn't fit well in my fanny pac. I've been looking at a few LED lights; one with extra red and green bulbs and one with red and blue. The package said the blue was for blood, but I was suspect of that. :confused: Think I'll just go with the plain white.

I used a surefire last week and was very impressed with how well it worked. Granted I was on a five star blood trail, but the the blood fairly screamed out to you as it reflected in the light.

If you are just going to go with a white LED I would suggest the FENIX P3D or P2D. The P3 is the one the Wensel's are selling as the Main Beam.
Your other options include Surefire, which you can lens caps for it you want to use a different color.
Also there are the Inova lights which are great lights and you could buy one of each color for the cost of the Surefire.

After reading about those fenix lights I ordered one and holy crap what a light. I ordered another one. Iam not an advertiser. For such a small little fellow its puts out a huge amount of light. Its ideal for night bloodtrailing.

well those big spotlights I carry ride pretty close to where the deer was shot on my 4 wheeler. lol I keep more lights and all kinds of goodys there in case I need em. usually though unless it's a real poor shot we'll find the deer before my 2 spotlights go out. btw, I keep a little AA light in my pocket in case they do go out I can find my way back out.

streamlight strion: bright, rechargable--no 123 batteries and lasts 70 minutes on a charge, small. I love it.
