ORIGINAL: rack tracker

Dag, what time was legal shooting time until? Came in @ 5:30 and 10 -15 min. later offered a shot? that leaves it 5:40. Here 5:40 you can't see the hand in front of your face. Or do you not do dalight savings time?
Rack tracker,

You are farther north than me by a good margin, so I have longer days than where you're at. In Oklahoma you can shoot 30 minutes past official sunset, which at this locatation and day was 5:23, allowing me to shoot until 5:53. Yes, I was puching it a little,but I was still legal. Just as importantly, I was also ethical. I was in a clearing so there were no trees to block out the light, as was the doe I shot. Also, my impact archery cosmic sight really draws in the light.

I am with you. My first deer was a doe as well & it was just as good as a buck. She was graceful & provided me with a great first hunt & shot. She also took it easy on me for my first dressing as well! Congrats & enjoy the ones to come.
