[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5212380, member: 21439"] Saturday morning my trusty headlamp of probably 15 years finally went kaput at the truck as I was gearing up. Luckily I had a handheld flashlight for the walk in, but its batteries went dead just as I got to my tree. Sunday morning I used another headlamp that I had at home, but that is only white light. My trusty headlamp was white and green light and I've always walked in with the green light. First question, do you use white light or green or red light in the morning walking to your stand? I'm strongly considering trying to find a green light head lamp for this weekend. Second question, on my walk in Sunday morning, I got blown at by a deer at a pretty fair distance. I assume she was blowing at me after hearing me (or seeing my white light, which I had set on the lowest setting, but it was still strong light). Not sure how far away she was, maybe 100 yards, maybe farther. I didn't see any deer Sunday morning and am wondering if that is why. I don't think so, as the weekend prior I was hunting from the ground (couldn't find a suitable tree for my climber in this one part of public land) and got blown at in early morning day light. The group of 3 or more deer ran and I grunted (probably 35-50 yards away) and the deer came back, but never close enough for a shot with my bow. They couldn't figure out who or what I was. I grunted a few more times hoping to get one to come closer, but they never did. [/QUOTE]
