Maybe not so much of an issue there, but here in the middle of the country, dusk is when bambi and his thousands of cousins decide it's time to get up and stretch their legs. It's the time of day demanding the most vigilance.

Can't disagree more. During the day at Minden there are a lot of glider operations, aircraft without radios, jets, turboprops, firebombers etc. All times of the day/night require vigilance. If I had a choice I would take a deer over a midair.
