Tomorrow Is November 6th and It Is that day that seems to be the best day for me to be In the woods hunting mature bucks. I've never shot a mature buck on that day but I usually see more bucks on this day then any other. I've seen a pile of chasing through out the years on the 6th. I've seen as many as 10 bucks In one day on the 6th. This day has also been cruel to me. I can think of 9 different bucks (All ranging from 130" to 150" bucks) In the last 14 years that have eluded me at about 25 yards on that day (Nov 6th). I'm a recurve shooter and that's a tad out of range on most occasions (just barely). Tomorrow I'm planning an all day sit If the weather and the wind direction hold out. We have a cold front coming Into Minnesota and rain Is In the forecast and It really should get these bucks moving a little more during day light hours and hopefully mid day being It's been unseasonably warm as of late. If It does rain I hope It don't amount to much of a rain. A drizzle type rain without the down pours and medium type of raining (not heavy and not light) I'll stay out hunting, anything heavier then that I'm going to be pissed and on my way home!
If I remember right someone else on this board likes the 6th of November.
Good Luck Schultzy! Sure wish I could be out there with you, but I will be at work all day.[:@]But....... I do have Friday off, so I will be out then.[8D]I just wanted to get out one more time before the orange army comes out.

Shultzy, do like I do and just enjoy the day in the woods. If I go in the woods and stress out I never see anything but squirrels. I always have a better time hunting when Im not thinking of even getting a shot off. Its wierd, but most of my kills come when Im not expecting it...just enjoying the time I have in the woods.
I have faith in ya Shultzy...that bruiser is gonna walk by at 10 yrds and you will teach him not to do that anymore!
Yep thunderstorms forcast her tomorrow in Norther IL as well, oh and dont forget the 30mph winds.....kill me.

I was just talking about this with my son TODAY. Nov 5th is "my day" that I have had the most luck on over all the years....just as you, seeing ALOT of activity, sometimes I get one, most times not. It also happens to be my sons birthday He turned 11 today...
We decided today that from now on, he will get his birthday off school...and we'll go hunting together that day! Then of course my daughter chimes in and says ....hey, what about me? LOL
Of course I didn't get to go today...but being 70 degrees, I'm doubting I missed much. Hopefully next week with be "the week".
shultzy - you are wrong 11/6 sucks. in 2004 the gun opener was on 11/6 and someone was in 'my' spot on public land (he ended up shooting a buck). then, i went to my inlaws and locked my keys and gun in my car. suuuuucked!
there's a real quick and easy fix to your problems on 11/6. go to your local archery shop and pick up a 320+ fps 11/6 buck killing machine! [:-]
