Small flash light is fine if your going in early turkeys won't spook early just don't go shining it in trees and don't stop do steady walk with light pointed down. Also I don't get to close to birds don't want to be under the tree

I never use a light, no matter what color.

I use a Blood Runner blood trail tracking light thatI bought for bow hunting....I've never used it for intended purpose but it has both red and green light....I use green light very muted....I put tape over lense to allow a small amount of light out....just barely enought to see.  Where I hunt there are creeks 25 feet deep with straight down banks....you don't want to take a fall in the dark.

I normally use a small one and just keep it pointed at the ground on the way in. I do turn it off when I get close to where I am gonna hunt.

I have used a red light with the little tacks that have reflectors on the head to "mark a path" thru the woods, on far away birds where I had to trek thru dense stuff to get to them.  Getting turned around one morning led to this method!  ;)

Look-up Gorilla Gear Trail Blazer Tacks; same thing as what I used that time.  Also put these on my deer stands, so I can spot 'em up in my trees where I hang 'em.

I use a small light and keep it pointed down. I am always concerned about stepping on a big rattler or even worse sitting on one.

:agreed: Never even carry one. Just use the moon and walk softly.....
