This happen to me a few years back had geese land in the spread almost an hour before shooting light I thought no way will they stick around.  Sure enough they did and we shot them all :mgun: :mgun:

I can't see deer even 15 minutes after legal time. There's no way I would, or COULD shoot, five minutes before.

If it's light enough to I.D. them, it's shooting time.  It's never occurred to me to be a clock watcher in the blind.

Not to mention it is against the law to shoot before hours.  So not even a question of ethics.  You are either a criminal or not!

Does not matter if it is ducks, geese, deer, or elk, if you shoot before or after legal hours you are poaching.

who carries a watch or phone with them? if its light enough out to see what you're shooting at, shoot away :twocents:.

Any one that cares about being legal when they shoot waterfowl does.

Surely you are kidding.

Every hunter should be required to carry a timepiece. How else are you going to be compliant with shooting light game laws. 

Also, ethically you need to ID your game no matter the time, so if extra dark morning, shooting light changes....
