Our senses, especially eyesight, are not well-adapted to nighttime and darkness, so that even a good LED headlamp can't make up for that. Any time you're hiking in the dark you'll be getting a lot less visual information about what's in your vicinity. Unless you are accustomed to night sounds, your ears will not be delivering much info to fill in those gaps. You'll hear things, but not know what it means. So, compared to daylight, you're half-blind. That's the bad news.

The good news is that most wildlife consider us alpha predators, so their senses, which are much better attuned to darkness, will tell them we are DANGER. That gives us an edge as we blunder around in the dark and helps keep us safe.

Personally, I prefer hiking with all my senses operating at full capacity, but I admit I have done some full moon hiking, just for the novelty and eerie beauty of it. Just be aware that other alphas love full moons, too and are extra active then.
