I wish Idaho would follow suit... dang!I am under the gun here until Dec 1...

Dan with no rifle season during November I don't think you can go wrong that last week of Nov. The bucks will have bred many does and will be in search of the last remaining few. You should see a lot of movement..especially if the weather conditions help you out. The only negative would be the hunting pressure that coincides with Thanksgivings days off.

On the other hand you may want to take that first week of Dec off to evade the many bowhunters that will be out beating the brush over Thanksgiving break..

I have personally witnessed some of the biggest bucks inmy area out moving after our rifle (any weapons)season closes Dec 1. Your scenario and pressure is different than mine, yet I have a feeling many of your most mature bucks will be cruising that last week of Novand first week of Dec both..trying to pick up a final few does...

Both weeks are good for mature buck on the movein my area... What do you think?
