Yep. That's where the axis rotation comes in. From new moon to full moon, there are daily changes in dark and light. I'm not smart enough to model both sources of light.
I have been on many hunts and I concur.
I can tell you from my many time hunting and I never used a tree stand but rather a quick detach seat that I would strap around a tree. There I was in the early morning hours and it would be so pitch black I would constantly question if I am able to see anything while trying to remain still. Well one time I was doing just that thinking it was never gonna be light enough to see and I thought I saw movement but could be sure and as I endured the long wait I must've made some human sound and that movement turned out to have been a deer maybe 15 feet directly in front of me. I could not see it as it approached and it must have just been standing there staring in my direction for a long time. It blew and ran off.

Why are y'all sittin' in a tree, at night, in the dark, and in the cold no less, anyway? ?????ÿ
Maybe, but I don't know.
More importantly though is how do you find the perfect "meme" every single time?
I agree; man made light contributes to the varying degrees of irradiation of the night. But isn't the moon illuminated by the sun?
Why do you fart as soon as you get under the covers??ÿ Oh never mind I fart all of the time 😉
The obvious answer is to kill any bed bugs or other varieties of insects.
Lots of light pollution, for sure. Whenever I get to go to sparsely populated places at night, I'm always blown away by the sky.
Here's a web site that has better pictures than I can draw. It has graphics for both the moon and the sun, including moon phases, for each day of the year. You can click on a day and see the hours of sun-up and sun-down and moon-up and moon-down. I had trouble changing the city in the little input box, so I just changed it in the URL. The graphs go from midnight to midnight while my 3rd-grade graph goes from sunrise to sunset, but the sinusoidal pattern is pretty clear.

Neat stuff that these young'ns do with computers.
Can't (or didn't) help myself...
How is it hunting if the sportsman sits in a concealed location and waits for the game to come into the line of fire? Seems like the deer are doing the hunting... :shutmouth:
