Like the others said. Last week of October to the end of the season would be your best. October 31st last year I rattled in and took a nice 7 point. Had him fight with another buck under my stand. Saw 6 bucks that morning all hot and heavy. October 29th, I rattled in a killer 8 point but he snuck in from behind me (came out of a little swamp across the road) and couldn't get a shot.
