Night hiking

Postby Clawsar » 09 04, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Hi everybody!
The weather dropped over ten degrees this last week and this opening weekend looks to have sun, rain, and maybe some snow on opening weekend. Should be a great time to be in the woods! Still I'm assuming the elk are quiet most the day since its early September, I want to hike up to a ridge at night and early morning for some location bugling. Do you guys try and hike without a headlamp, with one only on a red setting, or the white light? It will be so cloudy that I think the night won't have much benefit of the half moon.

How do you guys do it?

GOOD LUCK out there and stay safe.

Thanks for the post. I will toss in a pair of safety glasses for myself and everyone else in my hunting group.
I hike with a headlamp on till I can see. Normal white light on dim stetting to extend batteries.
