I agree that the end of shooting hours needs a change.

I'm guessing here, but I think the PGC is using the sunset timeline as a way to curb poaching.

I think the PGC figures on trying to get hunters out of the woods early and not let them in there until it is dark, is a good way to curb poaching.

This is just my opinion. I don't believe The PGC is concerned with it being a safety issue. Especially when they allow the starting time to be so early when it is still dark.

I'm sure a few guys remember the small Game season starting at 9:00 AM.

It took a while, but they finally changed it. Hopefully they'll do the same for the end of the day shooting time.
