RE: In the dark?
im always out of camp and headed up on the hill before light. besides seeing more animals i get more out of the day because i spend more time in the areas the animals during the daylight because i do all my walking in the dark.
it did back fire on us last year. we left camp at 4:30 am and walked over an hour in the dark and walked right up on a group of elk before it was light enough to see them. we were within 80 yards and couldnt even see them. after that we never could get caught up to them.
