I have a stand that I MUST be in at least an hour before light. Its right near a path that crosses a creek and comes up the creekbed, up a ridge to 5 huge white oak trees, and a ton of bedding...but its like a mile trek through some messy stuff and I have to come in from the back way. I would definately cross paths with one if I came in up the creek. I would never be able to walk to it from where I have to go in without night vision.

These pins that stick in trees like thumbtacks glow when hit with a flashlight...from like 200 yrds. I have my trail well marked now, so its straight in and up to my stand....without walking in circles!

Anybody else use them?
