Default is it worth hunting?

i have school until 3:12 and it gets dark now at 5:30. I have 2 take a shower and everything and by the time i would get in the woods it would be like 3:45. Same goes in the morn i have to be at school by 8 and itgets light at 5:50 or so. Is it worth trying to huntor would i be doing more harm than good?Any advice is helpfull.

I'd still go. You'll probably just have to enter in more quietly and slowly as the deer will probably start to move when or soon after you get out there. And do you really need to shower? That could save a 10-15 minutes.

I'm in the same predicament as you. I get out of school at 2:34, get home at like 2:50ish, leave at 3 and get out to my spot between 4 and 4:30.

If you have 2 hrs to hunt in the evening I'd say hunt and you'd have time to look for one if you had to. Mornings would be a little different. What if you were in your stand and it was time to get out and get to school and suddenly the buck of a lifetime appears and hangs up just out of range. What a dilemma!!

Yup, I'd say don't hunt the morning.

If you have an hour to be in the stand its always worth being out there. A friend of mine works at a prison over in Indiana, and more often than not he only has maybe 45 minutes to be in stand. I have to hand it to the guy he has killed some monster bucks. I know of three bucks he's killed in just the last 7 years that scored over 180. My personal feeling is that the last hour of daylight is the best time to be in the woods anyway. A far as morning goes I used to bowhunt before School all the time, killed two deer doing that. Hope this helps some.
