I hunt the same type of set up in Illinois. I think anything past Halloween is Prime time. I'm trying to decide on the first week in November or second week right now. I think both are going to be really good but want to give the land I hunt at least 5 days of rest before gun season.
Last year we had a really weird rut where I hunt in Illinois and no one really saw a clear "Great" week. I'm hoping this year it might be a little more noticeable. When I see bucks still chasing in the middle of January, you know something was a little nuts.
