I'd go for the third week in Oct for purely selfish reasons as a bowhunter. A few weeks of undisturbed bowhunting as PaBH suggested followed by a little time for the deer ro settle down so the rut activity is not all nocturnal. Better yet, start archery in mid sept, then the gun doe in early oct as proposed. And a male deer tag not an antlered tag. A button buck costs you that tag.
