    What Rugerman said. My Maxtoch dedomed torches will show cattle (and deer) up very well out to 800ish m. But its not just the color, a great hunting torch has to have the right lens shape to give you a tight beam plus 'spill', so you can see a lot around the edges of the beam. Also allows you to use the edge of the beam on jumpy animals, instead of blinding them with a direct super powerful spot. GM and mudgripz did a shitload of development work on just this subject, hence their creations are pretty much regarded as the 'gold standard' for monster spotlight capability in a small torch size package

    I've got one of their M1 Archer torches, best small handtorch ever, means I'm carrying a spare battery for my headlamp (HO1R) at the same time.

    They are worthy of their real designation as the CHCH Pixies. Gifted dudes who caused lotsa deer to die and for those with the magic Pixie Maxtoch many still die.
