When I can't see to shoot. I usually come down. then, if I am hunting in the woods, off of a field, I will move out to the field and wait till it is to dark there. The woods is usually darker a lot quicker.

I wait till it's completly dark. I don't want any deer see me getting out of my stand.
You do know that deer can see pretty goodin the dark, don't you?

During bow season, like others have said, when I can't see well enough for a clean and safe shot.
During rifle season, when legalshooting hours are over. I stay right 'til the last minute, then begin my 1/2 hr. walk back to the truck.

Yesterday I was on top of a large hill. I waited until I could barely see, but there was still some light. After I got my stand packed away and on my back, there was still a hint of light to walk, but not enough to make me remember that old barbed wire fence that I saw on the way up, that I tripped over, causing my stand to flip over my back and hit me on top of the head. I'm lucky I didn't kill myself.
