We always hunt the entire last week of bow season and have had mixed results depending on the stage of the rut. We just believe it gives us the best chance to hit part of or all of a rut stage. We hunt every weekend of the season and having hunted PA for 20 some years I have always liked the week that Holloween falls in, that weekend seems to always produce more deer sightings or activity. I think it may be the pre-rut kicking in.
