If it was only 9 minutes I say taking the bull is B.S. The reason being is unless the fish and game officer was right there its hearsay, and sometimes your watch can be off so who is to say the hunters watch was not off and he though he waited until legal shooting light. 9 minutes is a hard call now say a hour or 30 minutes yes but thats really close to cut it, personally I have never shot until way after legal to shoot. The reason for this is due to me not seeing a buck or elk until at least 30-45 minutes after legal light, or hours before legal light when hiking into my location.
