Back whent my 15 year old self first went bowhunting for whitetail deer in Ocala National Forest, I’ve been concerned about the flashlight I used to get me back in the woods to where I planeded to hunt. And back out after dark. Would the light from my flashlight spook deer?
Honestly, it seemed like it would. But walking through thick brush with the forest blacked out by tall trees, I needed the light from that flashlight to see where I was walking as well as to know if I was on course to end up at my pre-chosen hunted spot. In this video Jeff Sturgis shares his insights and research on the use of flashlights in the deer woods.
