I wondered that too. My Dad taught me years ago to not use lights and let your eyes adjust automatically...... usually I can see pretty good on most clear or moonlit early mornings or after hunt walk outs. I think a lot of the problem nowadays is everyone has to have their nose in their phone and if you don't have it set for night viewing it blows your NV. If I'm hunting public or private with pressure on adjacent properties I will use a green headlamp. I would rather not use one at all though!!!

My uncle had a dog that used to dig it up and then eat it. I'm thinking the dog may have been missing something in its diet.

I had the same thing one time on a private hunting club back in the day. I had to go pretty bad so I hopped off the trail and took care of business. Afterwards a random dog comes running through stops and starts eating it. I don’t know how an animal can even do that. My dad has some beetle traps hanging from trees in his yard and when they get full of dead beetles it smells ungodly. Yet the raccoons will come and tear into them and eat them up. Disgusting!

Where I hunt there are big lines of sticker bushes under the trees and being able to find the openings in them prevents me from becoming tangled in impenetrable stickers the dark. If I was in open woodlands a headlamp would not be necessary but here, it is. Even with it, I have been almost stuck fast. I agree with the phone and keep it turned down as an extra light and turn it up every few minutes to check I am not circling. It is super easy to walk in circles in the dark.
