im the same as trapper dave...started chasing coonhounds through the woods when i was 7 or 8...us coon hunters could go on for months on things we seen and heard out there...but the important thing is were both alive and nothing is out there to hurt us..cept a few things might but there isnt really anything there to hunt you down and kill you...and you figure coon hunting we have lights...sure i did...but it was rarely on..sitting there waiting for the dog to tree or strike a track it was off...when walking on a trail of any kind it was off...my dad was wierd about that..he doesnt think o hes 8 he might be a little afraid...but now i can go out there in the middle of the dark and be comfortable...theres nothin out there no matter what you here...dont let your imagination get to you..
