What time is too late to shoot a deer
Seems like I get out at 5:45pm and chase
deer away

Legal shooting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset

[duckmanep]

30 mins after sunset is when "legal" shooting hours end.

[avidhunter75]

6:48 - 30 = 6:18 am
5:20 + 30 = 5:50 pm

Is for today

Tonight legally would be right around 1758 (5:58pm).

or when you can no longer see well enough to make an ethical shot (IMO)

Actual senset varies across the state by about 30 minutes. For the last several years we have kept a sunrise sunset chart at the lease, based on the coordinates there.

If your bowhunting and you cant see your fiber optics, then pack it in and wait to leave your stand when its getting fully dark. That way you dont mark your stand locations when your coming down.

So you don't mark your stand locations from what?? Animals that see in the dark??

This is exactly what I do.
