Since opening day is less than a month away I am looking forward to getting up at 3 am and going thru the morning ritual of driving out to my spot, putting on my camo in the dark walking thru the woods with a flashlight to find my reflective stickers and climbing a tree in the dark. Then sitting in that tree for about an hour before first light. More than once, I have gotten the heebie-jeebies while out in the woods either at night or in the morning. Like most of you, I hunt alone.
I' m not worried about the bugs, the snakes(oh dear God do I HATE snakes!!) the cold or rain. But for some reason I have already felt a small amount of dread about walking thru the woods in the dark.
