OK PA guys another question
Due to our screwy fiscal year, I have to take my remaining 6 days of vacation in October. I'm going to use 4 days to hunt in Ohio (my Home State) but as some of you know I also have a camp in Clarion Pa.
So when would you use these2 days + of course the Saturday for a 3 day get-a-way. I have 2 trains of thought.
a) go the Thurs - Sat as late a possible which would be closer but not yet into the rut So the dates would be the 26th-28th
or
b) go prior to the early Muzzle-loader season so deer have not been pursued by the masses these dates are 12th-14th. I believe the 19-21 would include the muzzle loader season.
Thoughts???

For the past three bow seasons the rut has hit peak right around the last week of the first archery season here in areas 2A an 2C. (greene, fayette counties mostly). if i had only 3 days to hunt all year they would all be somtime that week. Just riding around in the truck between hunts I see more deer that week than I see in all bow and rifle seasons combined.
