bluesj Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Werewolf! Any thing can shine blue if seen at the right (or Wrong) angle But deer and live stock, cattle, sheep, horses etc often shine blue or greeny blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaferret Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I've lamped for 40 year and never seen anything like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Have you considered using red light for lamping - it usually spooks quarry less than white light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Usually a young cat or fox. They tend to go through bluish tinge to white as they get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaferret Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I use an amber filter normally, I didn't have a filter as it was my headlight which I had on , it was only 40 odd yards away. I had put my gun away and was simply locking things up. I have never seen a fox with white eyes or a cat ever. I'm certainly not colour blind or daft. But thanks for all your help.

FOXHUNTER1 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 How could you not make it out from 40 yards away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google 'Colour Rendering Index LED' if you want to fall down a rabbit warren.... But, as has been said, young cat. Not seen it on a young fox myself but then I'm not a foxer (other than occasionally humping Bumpy22's gear around), thought they were mainly orange.

ninjaferret Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Foxhunter1 could you make something out at 40 yards in cover using just a small headlight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could not make it out apart from colour of eyes I would definitely say it was a cat. If coming back blue. Only from what I have seen though in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure as I wasn't there but would have investigated and found out. If it was just sat in cover looking at you and not running off probably a cat....

Dave-G Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 So your original post saying lamping no filter was horlicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaferret Posted November 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 No I was lamping but wasn't using the lamp, just a head torch as put everything away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
