[QUOTE="T3-OleMan, post: 629882, member: 14600"] [SIZE=2][SIZE=2][/SIZE] bruce, In 2005 Cuz and I were trying to beat this big storm back to the truck before dark and I decided to swing above a creek 1/4 mile and ck this meadow out. When we eased out to the edge it was pure black and we still had 30 more min of legal shooting left,yellow filter would not have helped. If we had got there with 35 min of legal shooting we would have filled our either sex tags. It was so black we could not see the ground or the ELK with our eyes or our scopes or binos. It was full moon that night and when we got back the next morning we saw that the ELK had been there and like most of the full moon meadows they probably left about 4am. What made me go to the Diavari was my solo hunt same meadow 2010 no clouds and a couple mins left of LEGAL SHOOTING TIME and at 100yds broad side walking across a 75yd wide meadow I could not count the points but could see about 30+-" of mass that could have been a spike or legal 4x4. The 4 cows came out 10 min before he did and I could have counted his points if he had been in the group. I solved that problem with the Diavari....now only storms or fog can do me in....then there is the dreaded MISS! Oh well.:rolleyes: papil, "So was it one half hour after sundown or one and a half hours after sundown?" [B][I][SIZE=3][U]It was neither!!![/U][/SIZE][/I] My CO shooting hours end every day 30 min after official sunset.[/B] I am so sorry that it was confusing. The Meadow is in the shade for the last 2 hours of legal shooting time! 1.5 hours before official sunset plus .5 hours after official sunset = 2 hours in the shade and legal shooting time. So you can visualize the meadow: It is 150yds X 75yds and is slightly up hill all the way, with a 75 to 100 foot elevated impenetrable scrub oak saddle across the upper end that acts as a back stop, for safety, then the sky is above the scrub oaks. To be hunted properly this small meadow requires the wind FLIP to occur before you can sneak up to the bottom of it. This usually-without a storm near by-happens at or about official sunset. Experience has taught me on this meadow to only hunt it the last 30 min of LEGAL shooting time. That way I'm safely & legally hunting the wind. Morning hunts here are a no good. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
