RE: Best Light
Anything with good batteries although my favorite is the $3 garrity throw aways from the Depot or Wally World. At $3 each they are as tough as shoe leather and I don't have to worry about bulbs or batteries. Just buy a couple at a time and they are nice bright colors incase you lay them down in the leaves or such.
Not a big fan of the head lamps as I always find myself looking around instead of looking straight down at my feet.It's suprizing how often you can just turn the light off for a couple minutes at a time as you sneak.
As a side note I can't even use bright eyes anymore cause when you shine a light into the woods it looks like XMass there are SO MANY twinkling. Maybe I'm the only guy with that problem.
The red and green channel marker tape should make a bigdifference this year.
