Dates of the majority of your buck kills?
 

I am REALLY bored today and started to think back about some of my bowkills. All but 1 have been taken during either the 1st week of the season, or the time period between 10/25-11/11. None in recent years have been taken prior to 10/25.

Anybody else have any input?

I have never taken a buck before late October. Usually around Halloween to the third week of November. Then gun season comes in and the deer usually go completely nocturnal. I have taken a buck early in January hunting food sources. There is just too many food sources for the deer to choose from in early October that it is hard to pattern the deer. I like it betteranyways during the rut because it makes it more interesting.

From 10/31 until the end of archery. On a side note, all between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 pm.

Best times Nov 1. - Nov 23. (11) 110" or better killed. 2nd best Nov.30 to Dec 7.(3) 125" or better killed. I've got a couple sprinkled around in OCT and late DEC.

A few during the first week of October and the rest have been during Thanksgiving week.

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:D 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.
