So hunting public land, earliest you can sign in is 1 hour before shooting light, shooting light is 1/2 hour before sunrise. I sign in 3 minutes after the earliest, and of course 4 people are already signed in, one is signed in 5 minutes after me. I haven't seen any of these find sportmen. Anyway, the good spot at this public is a decent hike, and I normally see other folks, but never in the spot I like. Also today is a junior hunt day, so orange required no matter what you are hunting.
I hike to my tree with a red headlamp, hear a songbird, start getting ready to single stick, have a buck grunt at me, at this point I take the brighter green light of my quiver and shine around, I dont see anything, I dont hear anything. It is still pitch black with 45 til shooting light, I start to climb, 3 single sticks up my headlamp dies, do the next 2, mount platform, pull up backpack and bow.
10 minutes later I hear a cough, another hunter is 10 feet off the ground 30 yards away, no orange. Now I'm not able to climb down, and move to a different tree without goofing up the morning hunt, so I am resigned to only shoot in 2 of my lanes where he doesn't or wouldn't have a shot.
Wouldn't yall have shined a light, or said the words "hey there" "too close" move away from me jackwagon".
Songbird whistle and a buck grunt. No light, no words.
