Is there any difference between red and green lights in regards to the “ ability” of hogs see them? I recently got a fenix tk32 that has both colors built into the light.

I don't know 100%, but my buddy uses green, and we have torched I don't know how many pigs at night using it. They don't seem to pay any attnetion to it whatsoever.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I have used both and never noticed a difference. They definitely do see green light. They might be less spooked by it but it you shine a green light on a wary hog, he's going to take off running. I have seen this many times. I switched from red to green thinking there would be a huge difference and while both spook pigs way less than white light, the animals still notice both.

I like green...pigs didn't like my red light.

I like the red because it allows ME to see better.
The green I can't see as well when I light them up.
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

I use red , which the hogs don't seem to notice, As a matter of fact, deer don't react at all to the light either (deer that happen to pass by in same area as the hogs but I don't shoot the deer). Have no problem seeing hogs with the red light but the distances I need to see are not that far.

Turn on the green light above them & bring it down slow onto them & they never know what hit ‘em.
Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
