re: Interior truck lights terrible for hunting

it's freaking 6000 acre hunting club, with some good gravel roads through the timber. I walked/rode over 100miles on my gps just this spring scouting it. If I pull up at a crossroads, or on top of a hill and kill my engine to listen for turkeys, I want to be able to get out and walk to one I hear gobbling on the roost. I sure as shite ain't walking 5 miles around before daylight just to locate birds before I go into work. Unless the bird is roosted right near the road, I can locate them and drive away with out disturbing them, then come back another day to kill it. Been done many times before, it will just suck locating them with a big bright flashing truck.
If they can see your lights, they can hear and/or see that truck. The reason they are shutting up isn't because of your light.

Most of the birds I'm listening for can't see my lights, and I drive around with parking lights on. I'm listening for distant birds, half mile away or more. I kill the truck & lights and sit for 15-20 minutes, can usually hear several birds in different directions at daylight. But, if by chance one gobbles close, I want to be able to get out quietly in the dark with my gun and sneak down a trail to get him.
