kybosh 5 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Foxes, Rabbits ect, only see the White light in any lamp. meaning How much white light penetrates yours lamp filter, So the duller the colour, the less the quarry will see it, Hence If you work a peice of land where the quarry is lamp shy, a red filter is the better option, as they will see less of the light coming from the lamp, then a lamp with a amber filter or no filter at all, They dont have a sense of colour, imo, Atb kyle Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 A red or green beam will definitely work better once rabbits or foxes become shy of a white beam. Tried it loads and its worked too many times to be coincidence. Red is the best for shy stuff imo ;+) 1 Quote Link to post
