G_E_E Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Yeah, I've done countless hours walking around in the dark in the woods with no problems, yeah it can be creepy but it's very necessary in a lot of hunting set ups. The main thing I'm worried about is spooking bucks without seeing them in the dark as I'm walking into my hunting spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted October 2, 2019 I thought this was the norm. Worse for me is glassing until dark when you are way back in on a coues hunt and then having a several hour hike in the dark alone coming out. I hate those nights but it’s a necessary evil. Always tough to balance bivy’img out vs day hikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted October 2, 2019 That's my worst nightmare when walking in the wood in the dark. I HATE the deep woods in the dark by myself. If I'm with someone else I don't mind, but it really sucks when I'm alone!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's several spots where a lion could easily ambush me in the deep narrow canyon, I'm always seeing lion tracks. Can't always have a friend or even my dog along. I'll work till dark then hike out stopping frequently to survey 360' with a good light. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm with someone else I don't mind, but it really sucks when I'm alone!!!! Sometime back I read a book documenting mountain lion attacks on humans. One fellow was a young, athletic and experienced backwoodsman employed by a lumber company for surveying and assessing timber stands. He played college football; a running back, and knew what it was like being blindsided and hit hard. He said that lions initial tackle was far more powerful than any hit he'd ever received on the gridiron. Knocked the wind out of him and the Lion wasn't letting go. Credited his backpack with saving his life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivhunter Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Do it every year but if you let your mind wander it can be a bit creepy. Only once have I had something screech, scream... it was unidentifiable to me but it scared me pretty good. I came back to look for track but soft sand showed nothing.
