I honestly think that anytime from now for the next 2 weeks is going to be a good time to be in the woods. Plus, what was just mentioned, we are going into a new moon so the big boys should not be doing to much running around at night. I am sure going to be out there this weekend...count on it!!
Yep, the next two weeks will be awesome. Unfortunatly, I'll miss most of it
Sounds like I picked a good weekend to break out the bow and buy my tag... found 30 acres to hunt right off of a natural spring...
I am looking forward to this weekend it looks good, I don't think next weekend will be as good. By next weekend they could be starting to lock down with a hot doe. With that said it wil lstill be better then average and defiantly if we get that colder weather in. Good luck!
I'm guessing next weekend will be better based on the deer activity I saw this evening. Saw some bigger bucks but they weren't interested in chasing any of the ladies. Young bucks were moving earlier in the afternoon and one was chasing a doe really hard.
If you read the best times to hunt on the internet they say the best day of the year is Thursday Noverber 11th.
This is pretty much true, unless you have a 1to1 doe to buck ratio and few do.
If there are lots of does, the peak of the rut is a slow time to hunt. They lock the does down and just move to the next one. They don't have to cruise very far to find another.
Was out scouting today and saw a fresh scrape and watched a younger buck bird dogging two does around in the wide open at 3 this afternoon. Also more deer primarily bucks moving around this afternoon between 11 and 3 than I have seen all fall. Seems like they are getting gear!
