Default Archery buck kills - timing.

What was/were the date(s) of your (or even your buddies')buck kills from last season?

Just looking to collect some data and see if we get a "bell curve" or if it's totally random.

I'd expect to see a hump right around the chase phase, but there are obviously a lot of guys who are already tagged out at that point... So...

If you guys want, feel free to post pictures ofsome deer with the time and date of harvest. Just so we can see the caliber of bucks being taken at certain times of the year.

Dates. Pictures. Votes. That's what this thread is all about.

It doesn't have to be your own. It doesn't have to be a booner.

Data Collection and deer pictures - in its simplest form.

Fran.....your call....but does the location of the hunter (no, no, no.....not that.....the location as far as North/South) affect how you would look at this?

Would this information be helpful? If not....no biggie.

I shot my big 8 October 24th but I can honestly say that November 6th has always been one of the better days for me to be in the woods through out the years. I see more nice mature bucks on or damn close to that day then any other date I've hunted. They really seem to chase around the 6th of November where I've done my hunting (Central Minnesota).

You will get different peaks because of peoples vacation time. Especially weekends. I'd expect the highest peak to be from Oct. 22nd to Nov. 12th.

Jeff - it would DEFINITELY be helpful to see the bell curve with respect to each specific geographic area - but I just don't think we'll have a big enough pool to get those kinds of numbers.

But nonetheless - just neat to know when everybody fills their tags.

Greg - you're definitely right. There are a lot of guys who fill their tags whenever their vacation falls. It doesn't necessarily correlate to the chase phase or anything. Just when ppl get time off.

I changed the poll a bit - allowed multiple selections for guys who shot more than 1 buck last year.
