Red, I' m 36. And I know it' s silly. I went out this morning before light to scout and get a couple squirrells. Found some good sign and took two squirrells. I spent 7 years in law enforcement, a few years in the army and have 8 years hunting behind me. I' ve also done some extended hiking/camping trips alone. Fell out of a tree in the swamp on the last day of the season cause I waited till full dark to try to come down. We don' t have much in the way of dangerous game here. Black bear and some mountain lions(or so the rumor goes). And it really isn' t the game that I worry about. it' s just that feeling when you are walking thru the woods just fine and then WHOOSH all the hair on our body stands out and the adrenaline pumps so hard that you want to puke, crap your pants and fight like hell all at once and you can' t figure out why. it' s when the " spider sense is tingling" and I can' t pinpoint a reason. I trust that feeling. have had to trust that feeling before and that' s what I dread. At least I know it isn' t just me.
Also this morning I experimented with an orange lense cover for my LED flashlight. it works better than the red one and gives just enoug light to keep me from breaking my ankles.
