RE: take time off work??
Halloween Week on. Last year, October 29th rattled in a 110" 8 point who got behind me and new something wasn't right and hung up at 15 yards. October 31, saw 6 different bucks, all cruising and fighting. Took a nice fat 7 point.
Years prior, I have seen bucks and have video of chasing from Nov 1 thru Nov 18th.
