RE: Wait or Get in?
As a side note to all this.. I always use a flashlight going in and coming out in the dark. It's less for me..I'm comfortable moving in the dark and if you allow your eyes to become a custom to the the available light you can see very well in the darkness.
I use a light for the rest of you guys..and the new guy who sees the horizontal line of my bow as a deers back in conditions when he shouldn't even be considerring a shot! I use my light because the thought of scaring a deer concerns me, a hell of a lot less, than the thought of being on the business end of someone elses broadhead.
It's like the guy on the motorcycle who wears a helmet, not because he doubts his skills..he just doesn't trust the "other" drivers.
