Mtn Boomer: Sure I get that.
Maybe what I was trying to say is the quality of the light seems better there as the sun starts dipping,bright skies and lighter vegetation at least where I have been in mostly October.
Up in Alberta in November, the dawn/dusk periods last longer with that low sun and it seems to stay gloomy during that period a bit longer.
But no doubt dark is dark.
That buck I killed with the 2.5-8 was a mule deer on a mountainside at last light,that was dead at the shot but kicked himself off the bench into heavy brush below,and rolled 30-40 yards. By the time we got up there you needed a flashlight and we could not find him. My pal was convinced I missed but I knew I had not.
We did not find him until the next morning,and he was OK,but the incident made me a bit conservative about shooting at the edge of night.
Powdr: I would like to have a scope like yours.
