I'm not sure how or where they decide on "sunset" when they make that little chart but I know this: Yesterday was one of the darkest gloomiest days we've had in awhile. Quitting time or sunset as defined in the rules digest was 5:10 PM. At 5:30 anyone with eyesight good enough to hunt at all could clearly identify a deer,at least in bow range, and safely shoot. had a deer come by at 5:30, I would have been able to make a safe ethical shot but it would have been illegal because of our silly law. We all know that last hour of daylight is the prime time. I just dont understand the PGC staff'sagenda here

I have also been stranded in my tree by deer that I didnt want toeducate well after dark. It is perfectly legal to be out there all night so long as you dont have a round chambered or an arrow nocked. that doesnt mean you wont get grilled by the WCO when you get back to your truck though!
