Default need quick opinions: to go or not to go

hey guys. im at work. i get off at 6pm. I would like to go hunting after work. My hunting spot is about 10 min. from my work. Sunset time around here is 7:10pm, and I would be sitting on the edge of a power line, not in the woods so that should give me the benefit of those last few extra minutes without trees getting in my way. I might be able to get off at 530, but i wont knowuntil later today. Would you go and try to get in a quick hunt? either way, when i leave work, i have to basically pass by my hunting spot. say i get in woods and set up by 6:20 or so, would it be worth sitting that hour? i hope i can get off at 530, which would give me a few more precious minutes. is it worth it? thanks

IF you can get in undetected and descented why not, if your busting animals getting in, then no, all you doing is educating them. You'll looking at magic hour so, only you know best.

Anytime you can get in a tree or woods the better chance you have. You can't tag them at home or in the car.

thanks alot guys. you fellas listened to the words "need QUICK opinions" ay? lol, i appreciate it. i think i might. that is the majic hour and even if i come home empty handed, it is right on the way home. and if i have a little luck on my side, maybe i will connect. i saw these deer on the powerlines last week when walking out from inside the woods right at dark, so maybe if i hurry and get in there, sitting on the outter wood line on a path i think they take, maybe i can connect. i hate using my damn climber b/c its so loud, but it will help to see better. thanks.

My boss does that. I haven't mastered the art yet.
That's your best time to see them. Just do your best to get in there quietly.
