Two things scared me last year because I keep the light off when walking to my stand in the dark.

1. A 15 minute walk through standing corn at night without a flashlight. Your mind starts playing tricks on you and you start feeling like you're never going to see the end of the corn. It's worse when you have to walk across the rows instead of with the rows. You can't see anything and it feels like it's never going to end.

2. Walking to my treestand without the light and I almost stepped on a porcupine. It scared the crap out of me!
