i agree....spend more time out there...when i was 7 or 8 i started coon hunting with dad......at night....and we barely used the lights.....dad said it might scare the coons or mess up the dog so we barely used them....and there were times we were near houses he didnt want them to see us.....now i can care less if its dark out....i walk in 2 miles to my spot every morning to deer and turkey hunt in the dark....and sit on my stand for about an hour before it gets light......i know whats out there...bears..bobcats..foxes..yotes..coons...porc ipines..oppsums ect ect....all have teeth and claws....but wont just plain out attack you 99% of the time atleast.....i dont see a reason to be scared...just dont think about it and just think about hunting....heck....you have a rifle or bow or something if you would have an encounter where youd need it......
