RE: When is it to dark to take a shot?
KS...I've taken a close shot, 20 yards in closing light with only my top pin really viewable. It depends on the distance of the shot, how the animal is turned and how comfortable you feel. For me, the outcome was good. I got my buck, but if you think it's too risky..it probably is. Don't take a chance wounding him. Also, if you don't have time to do some tracking late that evening or even the following day, it's probably not a wise decision to take an iffy shot. Just my opinion. He'll be back if you pass more than likely.
