Hey Greg...obvioulsy it hasn't hurt you
I did have to pass on a clean 5x5 in '06 because of it! [:@]
I've just gotten to the point, when I can't look up and see my pins clearly, it's time to get down. There are other days, other deer, I don't need to kill something so badly that I have to beable to see in the dark. Most all bowhunters hunt past legal shooting hours and think nothing of it. Why is that. When i can't see.... it's time to take the arrow off the string. I've practiced for hours in poor lighting conditions. Arrow impact is effected. To me, it's not worth the trouble.
I get down early rather than stay late, all the time, especially if nothing is happening. I hate getting pinned in my stand until after dark. When I do, it seems like at least one or more deer are still around when I think the coast is clear and then they bust me.
davidmil,
How in the world would you know that "Most all bowhunters hunt past legal shooting hours and think nothing of it." ????
