9/25 (youth hunt), 10/16, 10/23, 11/2, most larger bucks sighted 11/9-11/14, but I never seem to be sitting close enough to that "hot" doe to get a shot at one during this time.Each of the last 4 years, I have seen at least 2 decent bucks on 11/14. I hunt in an area not known for trophies and also where the neighbors see antlers and shoot no matter how big the buck is, so it's rare to see 2 decent bucks in one day, let alone the same day for 4 years in a row!

I've never shot at a buck in the last 6 years of gun season, which in MI runs from 11/15-11/30. I've seen my fair share, but nothing ever big enough to my standards since I started passing them up at age 16.

Interesting topic. Looking back through my journal entries the majority of mine have come at an odd time, October 11-19. That is usually The October lull, but it's been good to me, except for this year that is.

You realize you're the only guy from PA I know who has not shot a buck Rob does not count he's hobbled

The week before the first gun season in MN, (last week of october/first week of november). Usually pre-rut and the deer have not been too pressured yet.
