I would have went out after it at midnight if I new I could not get out in the morning. Would not want to waste something I made a decision to kill.
Thankfully I can get any time off if needed so I do not need to go through that. But I do go out after them after what I deem a required wait depending on the shot due to I hunt some spots with lots of yotes and if I need to track deer in the middle of the night so the thiefs do not get them that is what I do.
