In this episode of The Watering Hole, the crew dives into a heated debate over "light discipline" and whether headlamps actually spook deer. While Todd swears by creeping through the darkness or using only red lights to stay "sneaky," Justin argues that white light makes zero difference, citing footage of deer ignoring bright beams from just 20 yards away. They suggest the fear of using lights is mostly a mental hurdle for hunters, especially since deer are already accustomed to car headlights and trail camera flashes. To settle the argument once and for all, the team plans to consult a biologist to explain the science of deer vision and how they perceive different light spectrums. Beyond the headlamp talk, the guys prep for the upcoming Bowhunting and Archery Super Show in Indianapolis, defend their decision to use tracking dogs on recent hunts, and discuss the difficulty of finding mature bucks as the late-season weather shifts.
