I would go with the 1st or 2nd week of Nov. that would be my choice!

someday i hope as i get older and more vacation time!!

This question would be easy to answer for yourself if you kept a log book. Many people I know base their hunting time off from work on their log book entries.

Before I scheduled ANY time off from work, I would look at the MOON PHASES first. I dont care who says its not true, moon location plays a MAJOR roll in wildlife movement.

Google the game movement moon phase chart before you scehedule anything.

DT very good point i do have a log book for rifle season. And here in pa my opinion is the rifle season is so late i dont think my log from rifle season will do me much good for early bow season. Oh this is my second season of bow and my first one doesnt count for to much since i have new and better farms to hunt.

thanks for the posts guys. I was actually thinking a question very similar to this.[8D]

yea i figured if i would have waited long enough someone would have started this, but i was like i wanna see what everyone says now. no need in waiting to mark my time off work to go hunting no need at all.
