I don't know when shooting time ends in NH but here is a common Pa scenario. It's 6:15 PM, sunset, in October. The little time chart in our book says it's quitting time. The sun has just disappeared but you can see 100 yards easily under the canopy of the trees. A twig snaps and here comes a deer. He walks in and stops 15 yards out. You draw your bow, but wait, it's now 6:20 PM. How many hunters can honestly say they won't shoot. Stupid rules wind up being broken by basically honest people!
