yeah, i've been in the outdoors all my life. never really gave em a second thought. if i saw em i just killed em or avoided em. but this has changed my outlook big time. last time i went out i had a buddy with me and i pulled up the trolling motor about 30min before dark and he was like what are you doing you always stay till we cant see. i told him you don't honestly think im walking across the same ground where i got bit in the dark. we laughed about it but it has changed my level of caution quite a bit
