I personally prefer the first week of Nov. to the second week of Nov. For me, I have just had better success during the first week than I have the second. Now, that being said the second week is good and the second best week of the season IMO on average however depending on the year and when the full moon falls etc. etc. etc. Sometimes the second week is better than the first. My experience has been that I am much less likely to catch the pre-rut, which is my favorite time to be in the woods. I have also found that I am much more likely to catch the bucks in "lock down" when they get with one dow and stick with her untils she is out of estrus and only move when she moves etc. This year the rut is suppose to fall a little later so Dr. Alsheimer would say the 10th but I would say the 7th. My hunt this year is sch. for the 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9th. The 10th you are getting a little closer to the full moon as well and I don't like hunting the full moon, wether it's during the rut or not, I have always had poor success.
