[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2591763, member: 29323"] For butchering an elk or walking in the woods, 200 lumens is plenty. For chasing bear or spotting a mountain lions trrying to sneak up on you while butchering a deer or trying to bushwhack trail and prevent yourself from cliffing out, a spotlight is better. Either way, it has to be a headlamp. Do you butcher with one hand or hold the flashlight your mouth while butchering? Headlamps rule, and I always have a spare. The key is a switch that doesn't turn the light on in your pack. I was walking back in the dark on an aoudad hunt and my buddy had 3 big flashlights, and none of them worked. I've had several UK mini dive lights, but they eventually corroded and quit working. I use the lime green Everyready headlamp. I use the red light when walking in the dark across elk meadows. Many believe elk can't see color. [/QUOTE]
