In ST IV, The Voyage Home, the HMS Bounty travels back to what looks to be Earth ca 1985 to acquire a breeding pair of whales. Yet at this time, whales are already in danger and people are sophisticated enough that the Bounty might be detected and possibly destroyed. Why not travel back to 900AD or so before mass whaling or missiles became a thing.

Was the movie made in 1985?

@Adamant it was made in 1986. Obviously that was the out of universe reason for setting it then. I think the OP is asking if there was ever an in universe reason given, for example something to do with 1986 being somehow easier to target a time-travel pattern to because of arcane subspace reasons, etc.

@RobertColumbia - I was just wondering because if it was made earlier or later that could have been interesting.

To transport the whales the crew used transparent aluminium for their makeshift holding tank which they had to "invent" themselves and produce using 1985 technology which wouldn't have existed in 900 AD.
