I try to get in without one but when I do I use a hat lamp with 3 or four green LEDs. Deer can't see the light so it won't spook them.

This topic was on another smaller forum and the horror stories of people almost getting shot by people night hunting or just sound shooting was crazy. One guy actually had heard someone drawing back and flipped on his light and a guy yelled at him for walking through the woods with no light!

Better safe than sorry now. I hunt private and still will flick my light on here and there just to be safe.
