Getting Rid of Daylight Savings Time

[Larry]

Think about this with all the talk about getting rid of Daylight Savings time. How it would effect shooting times and travel to your spot. Where I live on May 1st sunrise would be 504 instead of 604. With shooting time would be around 435. That would mean for me to travel to my spot in the southern tier I would have to get up at 130. Just wondering what you all think.

IMHO, having Daylight Savings run all year is a far preferable alternative. This has been floated for a long time, and the push to due away with it entirely seems new to me. But I agree that it would be problematic for morning activities.

I agree.  I want the extra hr of light at the end of the day, especially in the summer.

The earlier it gets light for me the better.  I'm up anyway.

I'm good with doing away with daylight savings time. Should've been done long ago.

Sun comes up and goes down at the same time no matter what your watch says . When we “ fall back “ during deer season , I’m still getting up at the same time , same as the deer .

Yea kids standing in the dark for school is a great idea.

I guess my point is to keep one or the other. But changing time twice a year is pretty stupid in my opinion.

What about school kids in places like Alaska where it’s dark six months and light six months?  Ending DS isn’t going to matter if you live way north like that.

Daylight savings is used almost eight months out of the year. I would like to see November-February added to that. It would be nice to get home from work and have daylight.

When it's dark at 4:30 I am 10 x less productive...most importantly I lose all my after school hunting opportunities.

That didn't matter when I worked I'm retired. But I worked nights in the winter I would go in when it's dark and come home in the dark.
