Here is another perspective. About 10 years ago, I was sitting at my stand around 630 am. My stand was located in the pine tress where it is a little darker that the open woods. Anyways around 655, I heard some deer coming. I could hear them getting closer and closer. So I got my gun ready, I could see them running on the edge of the hill. I pulled my gun up and as I saw the silouhette come into view on my scope. I squeezed the trigger and I saw the white from the belly of the deer. I saw the fire come out the end of my gun. Right then and there, I was scared out of my wits. I knew I had hit a deer and it was down. But was the risk that important? I mean what supposed it was a couple of hunters walking? I had to fill out my tag with a flashlight. I had to gut the deer with a flashlight. I know shooting hours a guideline but to me the real shooting begins when I can see the fluorescent orange on my jacket very clearly( and I mean bright orange not orange). Even if it is after shooting hours beginit can still be dark enough to not being able to see your target clearly. I know we cant use the "seeing the orange very clearly on your jacket reasoning" but it is alot better explaining to the police how you mistaked a hunter for a deer.
