I have often wondered how far you could see the light from a cell phone if some one is in a shooting house, well I found out this morning that is is a long way, I don't know who it was but the new clear cut on the south bound side of 65 at the Chilton Shelby line but I could see the glow from the interstate this morning.. Has to be a thousand yards

Who in the heck is looking at a cell phone in the pitch dark anyway? I never use a light. Maybe he was scared of the dark... Probably Updating the LFTT thread

Hmmm Well lets say I saw a light and it wasn't real bright, last Friday I saw a very bright light coming out of the same shooting house that I figure was a flashlight, it is easy to see the shooting house from the interstate since it is in a clear cut and is sitting on top of a big hill, I am guilty of doing the same thing at times when sitting in a stand waiting on daylight...

So you saw a cell phone light thousands of yards away while zipping down the interstate. Hmmm Absolutely. You can see the red glow of a cigarette from 1/2 mile. A cell phone would light up a shooting house like a disco joint.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I NEVER look at my cell phone until the sun is well up. I want any deer to see my location until it’s too late. Once they see something abnormal, They’ll check it every time they come through Which is why I turn the brightness all the way down on my phone. I hunt a lot during the week but still need access to my emails. While I would love to hunt some of the better spots on our lease I sometimes HAVE to be in a spot with cell service. It’s better than sitting in an office though

It doesn’t help that cell phones are backlit with a blue light. Deer see very well in the blue to ultraviolet end of the spectrum. It’s the reason most detergents for hunting clothes do not have UV brightened. Put it in certain garments and come sunrise or sunset, especially with a moon, and you will glow like a giant light bug in a stand.
That said I keep my phone handy on the stand. I shoot more deer with the video function than I do with a rifle. I check weather trends. I chat with the wife. I know what time it is. I’m also able to help the older gents in my club if they need assistance in a timely manner. But I have the lighting turned down low. Most newer phones have a blue-blocker feature you can enable. I'd be curious to see what, if any, difference that makes in a deer seeing the glow.
