    do what i do and get up when its dark
    be at your permission when its dark
    and start to hunt as its bright enough to see

    its hard to give a accurate time of first light at the minute as the weather is odd can differ from day to day by about ten minutes

    first light is about 7.15 in the morning as im up at that time for work

    You'll have to check it against the real thing in your area, should give you some idea all the same.

    I don't think so, but if you click on one of the drop down menu's it'll give you the option to display "all columns" which will include twilight, which is probably closer to the time you're looking for.

    It gives sun rise/set for most large towns for the year

    thats brilliant thanks out of curosity are there many other web links out there

    First light is prior to sun light
    There is a term for it something like " something something something nautical sunrise" or words to that affect. The same goes for last light. I'll check the names and get back to ya.
    Remember this time of year cloud cover will play a huge part in determining first light. Any websites that list times are to be used only as a guide. Time spent on reccie is seldom wasted, so get out the day before you intend to go hunting and take note.

    Great site. Eveything you need. If you register you can put your own locations in as its a windsurf/surfing site. Gives you sunrise and sunset. First/last light usually an hour before and after depends on cloud cover which it gives you too.

    Ill give you a running commentary on first light if you like. I haven't slept in past 5:30 in 13 months thanks to that miniature person who usually starts screaming at 4:30 - 5:00 :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 861 ✭✭✭session savage


    First hint of light this morning was at 7:40
