I'm out a lot at night. I've got some serious stories. Lol. It's when the hair on the back of your neck goes up and you have no idea why.
I used them tacks to mark my way in and out that glow when light hits them,caution don't put them side by side with a 3 inch gap,holy moly batman,I about freaked when them two beady eyes were staring at me,,lol when not using them keep the light from messing with your eyes and use the gps
If this makes you feel any better, if a cat is going to eat you, they will do just fine during daylight hours. They really don't need it to be dark. It is unnerving when you know they are there but can't see them, or you do see the demon eyes. That's always fun. I cut up a bear one night in firelight while 50 yards away, a bear ate huckleberries in the moonlight, completely carefree of my presence. He then followed me all the way to my truck with a backpack full of meat on. He hung back about 75 yards or so the whole way. I even fired a shot. He didn't budge.
In Fruitland I can walk under the moon easy.
I swear I can never work up my nerves to go out too early or stay too late when alone. Even when I get somewhere super early I still get jumpy when sitting in my truck alone on some dead end log road. There have been a couple times that I patterned some animals but just couldn't get myself moving before it started to get light. I had a herd pinned, they pushed through a choke point in the timber half mile from the truck about the same time every day, 10 min or so after daylight in the timber. Several days I tried getting myself there in the dark. It was not an issue with navigation (a skid road lead right to the spot) it was my nerves. I get so freaked out too easily. I had no one at the time to tag along either. Most of the time I would only make it 200 yards till I hit the edge of the timber, then I would start hearing and/or seeing things. It is something I have tried working on over the years and have pushed myself to try and make it work but I always freak out too much. I am not afraid to admit it I turn into a gigantic chicken shi* in the dark alone in the woods. Even with a full moon and clear skies.
