Break out a thermacell!
I don’t leave home without it. Works amazing.
At 7:10 (10 minutes before shooting hours ended) it was getting so dark I didn't feel comfortable shooting anymore, I hadn't seen anything all evening, and the mosquitos were winning so I packed up and decided to leave a few minutes early. I got down and two steps from my stand and saw a white thing 50 yards away. I couldn't tell if it was a deer or a tree trunk (as you know, a slight change of altitude can change the landscape). I stood still for two minutes looking at the unmoving tree and bobbing my head and trying to determine it's identity before moving. Finally I decided it was a tree and took two more steps before the tree turned around and ran off. This was at 7:18. It was still in shooting hours, but clearly too dark for me to shoot given I thought it was a tree. I'm not bummed about missing the chance to shoot, but am bummed I was spotted for leaving early.
LOL, patience pays sometimes.
It did get dark quick last night. Most nights I can see plenty good until past legal light. Not last night.
And what's up with the wind....GO AWAY!PLEASE!!!!!
Really? I have a 2 mph gust every once in a while but it is deathly calm right now. I'm afraid the deer are going to hear the vibration of my phone as a type.

A lot of movement on all of my cameras this morning...deer, coons, turkeys, and coyotes.
