[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5161132, member: 5787"] I try to be settled in 15-30 minutes before light and let things settle down. I never use a flashlight unless I absolutely have to. It is amazing how much your eyes can adjust to complete darkness. There are those mornings though where you can't see your hand in front of you face. That is when I use my little green light. I don't know if it is the way I walk or what, but I can't tell you how many times I have almost gotten to my stand and heard a deer walking straight towards me less than 100 yards away and have come to my EXACT location while I'm racing to get settled in. Literally within 3-5 yards. Most times I was in a stand, but twice were when I was on the ground. All were mornings I didn't use a light and all I was able to identify as a racked buck (yes - in the dark). I'm glad I'm not the only crazy one. I'm OCD about it and hold that light as close to the ground as possible and never raise it up. [/QUOTE]
