WesternMdHardwoods, it's gonna be real nice when someone gets lost and possibly dies because they had a few key tacks that made sure they were on the right trail, and one of these guys that can see in the dark decides "he" doesn't need that!!

Oh give me a break. The guy with the bright eyes all over the woods doesn't go deep enough to die. If you belong in the woods you won't keep walking into never never land. You'll say after about 2 tacks, "This isn't right, wait for daylight".
Well buddy, come down and hunt in the swamps of louisiana and lets see how much of a woodsman you are...in the incident I listed before...i had tacks out about every hundred yards to get me through the swamp and to the island...when i came out at dark the tacks were not there so in pitch dark I did not know which spot I needed to walk out of the island...and where i was at there was one spot that lead back to the trail...if you werent on it then you would not get back to the trail...but i guess i should just give up huntin because im not the true "woodsman"...now I agree with the flaggin tape...but a tact that you can only see with a light here or there just to make sure you are on the right path isnt destroying mother nature...if you are so concerned with nature maybe you should stop shooting animals
I hunted the swamps of Vietnam for 2 years. I hunted the swamps of Georgia for 8 years. I've hunted the alder swamps and big woods of the Adirondacks for 50 plus years. In the Adirondacks you can walk in a straight line for 25 miles and never hit a road, trail or sign of civilization or even a crawdad fry. I think with my back ground I could manage to manuver in Louisana without much problem. Everyone thinks their world is so tough. It's all just the great out doors.
