Headlamps

[ClayR089]

I watch YouTube and guys are walking in with headlamps on. I know they are obviously turning them off as they near their spot. But I've always been one to be nervous to have headlamp on at any time. I try to know my spots well enough to get in with out and going slow enough in. What is y'all's headlamp theory?

As little light as possible to safely navigate to wherever I'm going. I don't like tripping over stuff and falling hurts a lot more than it used too. I'll use one if I need it to move quietly but I prefer a small handheld green led flashlight that I can point straight down in front of my feet.

 I believe 100% lights scare turkeys.

I use these and use the green light which is not bright at all for times that I need a little light

I rarely use a light turkey hunting, once in a while in dangerous terrain.  I do have a really dim red one that weighs nothing i will carry with just in case.

I see very well in the dark.  So I use a light very infrequently.  But I always carry a small, white LED flashlight.  If I need light to see, I turn it on but close my hand over it and only let a couple fingers far enough apart to let a tiny beam out.

Don't use one much myself

I use a headlamp with a green setting, pointed at the ground. You walk 50 yards away from your buddy who's wearing the same model, and you don't even see the bulb (no beam) if it's not pointing *right* at you.

Might use a light to navigate new terrain until I get close enough to hear the birds I'm looking for but these days, it's a wash. I know where I'm heading on the farms I hunt and the other locations that I've hunted for years. But I'll not use a light anywhere near if I think a bird might have a chance of seeing it.

I use one, like already said, until I get close to the roost. I hunt deep woods and don't want to trip while walking in. Helps keep cobwebs off my face

I carry a small Maglite with a red filter in my vest but use it very seldom.

Sometimes!

When I use it, I use the floodlight setting and I'll pull it over my head and around my neck like a bow tie, keeps the light on the ground where it belongs and reduces me being blinded by the reflection of my fog breath.

Also your buddies will appreciate not being blinded. Boy nothing can get me hotter than someone trying to talk to me with their headlight in my face! Simple courtesy people!

I use one when needed, it might hurt my chances sometimes but it has helped quite a few times for sure.
