6x, join the club, it all goe' s back to a primal fear from the cavedwellers time, darkness was your enemy because we were not at the top of the food chain and most thing' s wanted to eat us. Remember courage is not the absence of fear , it' s overcoming it, to be completely fearless would be stupid and probably fatal ! By the way I' m 62yrs old, have been hunting for over 50yrs mostly alone, in before light and usually out after dark and still the hair stand' s up on the back of my neck sometime' s, that' s what help' s make hunting exciting. Although I will admit that the more I learned about the woods and animal' s the less I was apprehensive and that' s what you are, apprehensive, not afraid , you' re just useing all of your mind' s capabilities tuned into survival mode, good hunting
