Am I color blind?

[Spikebuck]

I'm not color blind , I don't think. I can see red but I have a hard time picking blood out in anything but snow.

I've had deer run bleeding everywhere and I just will walk past it's trail not able to find blood, even when working through slowly. My friends and family always poke fun at me because I have a hard time finding blood. Lol.

Normally once I do find a little I can get on hands and knees and it starts to appear. The rest of the time I find my critter before I find blood.

Here is some blood I walked past this year and didn't see until I was dragging out. ( With my bow opening day. Only ran ~75 yards) entire blood trail was like pic below, however I found most the blood on the way out.

For Christmas my dad gave me one of those lights that are supposed to make blood easier to spot. I haven't gotten to test it as I was out of tags when I got it but I'm looking forward to giving it a try next year.

Ps. It's not like my eyesight is bad. I'm young and can see well, although I do have glasses, but I see well without them to shoot open sights well.

Here is a link to a test you can take. It a very short version, but will give you an indication if you might have a form of color vision deficiency. Your eye dr can give you the full screening.

I got 25%, but I've known I have color "blindness" since I was a little kid.

I am red green color blind. So is my nephew that I hunt with. I had a job that required tracking people in desert areas. I never was great but know how to use light. The lower to the ground the better.
My nephew rubs the dark spots on rocks. It is a good trick as the blood is more apparent.
However a good dog is the best tool.
