My son has never wanted to go hunting at night with me, he is young and figured he was scared and didn't want to go. I never forced him, so this year he came to me and said he is ready to try it at night. My wife never had any concerns about him hunting from an early age, squirrels, deer, chucks, or turkey. But when we were getting his equipment together i could tell she was a little upset about it. so i asked her and she said she was worried about him going out in the dark. I explained how i would carry the gun and only turn it over until we started calling and be standing behind him the whole time and call all the shots. she felt better about it. I feel that it is safer at night than during the day because you are so aware of everything. But i was reminded of the true dangers of night hunting yesterday morning. I was driving down 81 at 5a.m. and this guy on the road must have been plastered, he was all over the road. How many on here have seen this at 2 or 3 a.m. while predator hunting???
