The really white LED light refracts in water droplets and comes back at you. You can see more if someone holds the torch a couple of meters away to your side. The de-doming changes the colour more to the red side of the spectrum with a warm yellow which doesn't refract the light the same, nor does it seem to spook animals as much.
There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
I had this exact problem with my shooter 2x the quickest easiest solution I found that worked with my dpt was a neoprene suppressor cover slip back down over the suppressor 'barrel nut' that was reflecting the light bouncing off the stainless back into the scope... Instant success. Only figured this on Wednesday night

I've only run Leds in spotlights and can say that the deer don't hang around long IMO that's for sure. Maybe an old school light beam does provide something else?

Try a warming filter, see the image, you get the idea. High intensity lights invariably have over-blue as they go for intensity rather than usefulness, since more lumens sell better.
This guy gets a warming filter sheet, you can see about the light orange-brown / sienna / ocre colour you need as you scrounge around.
One hack is to use an orange or pink highlighter pen on the lens, but it does not stay on when wet. You can however cover the lens with sellotape, use the highlighter on that surface, then let it dry and "lock it in" with another layer of sellotape.

An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch
Just put "barrel torch mount" in on trade me and you will see a similar one I have and it is cheap as.
Just got annoying with a bipod really but other than that handy as. I got a 30mm ring to use with one of my torches.
Maybe, I don't think it would impact it that much though unless it was on either a poorly bedded rifle or something high recoiling, you probably wouldn't barrel mount on the latter anyhow.
I had mine on a .223 and head and neck shot maybe 30 deer and a fair few hares with it no problem at all.
Every rifle is different though.
