NOV 1 TO THE 15 WHEN THEY ARE DUMB I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET THE THINGS I HAVE SEEN THE BIG ONES DO MAKES ME SPEACHLESS

RE: Hunting the illusive whitetail buck!
 

If I had to pick a 2 week period, it would be the last week of Oct and the first week of Nov.

For a big buck, last week of October thru the first week of November ....

RE: Hunting the illusive whitetail buck!
 

I tune into actually hunting bucks during early November, but prior to that I am looking for thier presence and locations and travel routes.
If I get close to one prior , sure I'm going to try to take him , but they don't show themselves too often prior to the of October. The exception has always been early October in the Oaks just et the end of legal light.

If I can get a summer pattern on a buck I would prefer to hunt the early season. Otherwise, I would go mid to late November....mainly because the rut is later farther north where I hunt.

Late Oct-Early Nov

RE: Hunting the illusive whitetail buck!
 

I am early season before all the woods get filled up with muzzleloaders and riflers...
Archery opens Sept 15th in NH and the first two weeks of the season seems to be the best or the last two weeks of OCT.

I am now folding my arms and lying on them with tears running down my face as I have so long to wait until the bowseason kicks off.........but then a smile is generated from the thoughts of gobblin' thunder tomorrow morning when my turkey season begins!!!

P&Ychaser,
I can say the same thing as well. November 6th has been my best day by far for seeing the most bucks chasing doe's and also some of the biggest bucks i see are on that date.

Definately early season for targeting a specific buck. If i know there are several good bucks in the area that i wanted to kill i would say early November....
