We won’t let our hunters start their vehicles before 10:30 in the morning, and I suggest that hunters don’t leave their blinds until 11:00 am. Many times if our hunters are walking slowly enough, they’ll walk right past deer that are bedded close to their blinds. Actually we prefer red light flood lights instead of spot lights.
