Today, was my last deer hunt for the season.
We typically get into our tree stands at least a half
hour before first light.
I had packed my Fenix L1P and affixed a double
thickness red balloon over the lense so give the light
a red tint. Got ready to enter the woods for the forty
yard walk...No Fenix. I was wearing parka with pockets
everywhere. Went through them all..No luck.
So....I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out my
Arc AAA P. Lit it, stuck it in my mouth and negotiated my
way to the tree stand through some fairly heavy growth.
To my surprise, the Arc was absolutely enough light for the
job.... Later in the morning, I found the Fenix.
Ninety minutes later, I was field dressing a 125 pound doe;
second, and final deer of the season.
Incidently, the mini mag holster on my fanny pack was empty
today for the first time in, probably, fifteen years. Left that light
at home.
