Nah, it's perfectly normal-----, for a girl!Jk, of course. As you face your fear, and make yuor way out a few times , your confidence will grow. Take a good flashlight, and make a sound or 2 occasionally, and it'll help. Take your cellpone and talk to hubby on the way out as well.I don't get nervous about the dark woods, but when I hunt this area where I have gotten some pics of a 4-500 lbs bear, I get nervous about a freindly encounter with it! So, I carry a flashlight, where normally I would be Elmer Fudding it, you know, be very very quiet, and I normally like to slip in and out of the woods undetected. But, the experts say that camo, and stealthful approaches, in woods with bear, account for many of the surprised close encounters with bear.
