RE: Hunting the illusive whitetail buck!
This is a tough one...
I like The first week of bow because the big boys are feedings like does...Sometimes I can put a stalk on them in the beat fields while they feed for the first few hours in the AM.
Althought Nov. 1st is hot...I have a hard time hunting rutting bucks because the one area I hunt in the thumb is just weekend hunts...lots of cahos at deer camp during this time...the little ones are old enough to hunt now and things get a little squirrly...so sometimes I may take them out...
Nov. 15th - Opening day of gun is hot and I can sometimes score on a 17 incher if I hunt all day.
The spots I hunt in Livingston county are small acre areas and booners are uncommon because of the cover in my area...
