The woods i use to hunt had a creek running threw it and i always use it to get to my stand . I might add i don't use a flashlight just use the light of the creek to get me where I'm going .Anyway one night i was was walking down the creek way past dark with my bow in hand when i heard yotes on both sides of the woods , I mean they where yapping like crazy .Talk about putting the hairs up on your neck. I continued walking but with one hand on my knife ready to pull it if i had to.Once out of the creek i had to walk a long field to get to my truck I had my eyes looking everywhere and my ears wide open for any sound coming towards me, I finally made it to the truck got in and let out a big breath thank god . If you let your mind run wild it can scare the hell out of you.
