RE: Survey...Date of your best bow buck?
Oct 20 2001. I prefer the fist two weeks on November, but I will take a big one whenever I can get him!

Two way tie!
11/07/00 Illinois..10 pt. 134 6/8"
11/03/01 Illinois...9 pt. 134 6/8"
Both during rut, one on a hot doe, one came into a mock scrape.

Sept 2, 2001. Definitely Fall feeding pattern, or maybe can even still say Summer. The bucks were still travelling in bachelor groups and when I shot this guy, probably about 2/3 of the bucks were still in velvet. Certainly a good time to bowhunt undisturbed deer.
Rifle season brackets the other best time - about November 15 to 20 in the peak of the rut. The majority of my big bucks have been acquired in this time frame.

My best buck--judging by rack--is an 11 point taken on Sept. 18th. My biggest BODIED buck was taken in early November--like a lot of others here. I always see tremendous rut activity here between Nov 10-12th.

Shot the 149" buck off a mock scrape. I started this scrape in early August in a staging area, the bucks all held up here before entering the alfalfa field. He was with a couple other bucks including a 130 class 8-pt.

My best was on Nov 11. He had a doe cornered in a 'bowl' right below me for over an hour. She finally got away from him and came right by my stand. He trailed along like a puppy dog. Full rut I would say!
