Morning walk to your stand

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Depends on the stand and the moon. I have a couple of sets that are right off the road and only ~70 or so yards into the woods. I also know the trails in well. I generally don’t need a light for those.

I have other sets that are 200+ yards into the woods. If I try to get to those without a light, I just wind up making a bunch of noise.

Green cap light

Have some kind of light on so you don’t get shot.

Red light. Keep your night vision and they cant see it. At least an optometrist buddy told me that…unless thats backwards and he pulled an all time joke on me

I use regular white light and dgaf.
If the deer can see my light, they can definitely hear me walking.

I usually wait until I shite before the morning hunt, so often I’m walking in right at legal shooting time, but I’ll use a regular white light and not think twice about it.

Headlight with red and green led.
Red is the dimmest so I use it for most walks where I know where I’m at. If I need a bright light I use the green, I have walked up on deer using the green light.

Always use a light mainly for safety. Red light if I don't really need to see all that good and I just rip the white light if I do need to see.

You haven’t lived until you walk into the middle of a covey of quail in pitch darknesses

they can hear my big arse trampling thru the woods before they see my light. I have a nitecore head light on mostly so I don’t step in a hole or clothesline myself on a branch or vine. Doesn’t seem to affect my hunts so far.
