RE: in the dark
I posted on this a while back and called it the "gettin the creeps". I think most hunters have the feeling. You learn to overcome it in time. But it never goes away. I live on the east coast where there really isn't much to worry about in the woods unless you get between a sow and her cubs (black bear) and you don't see many of them in my area eaither. Just suck it up and keep going. Remember, You are the hunter. and you are armed.
