No, this is not a thread about NotMe’s conquests lmfao ;)
I was just curious with all the knowledge here, what are your most successful dates where you have killed multiple bucks over a small window in time. For me, it has to be Halloween until Nov 11th. Seems to be a window that I’ve shot most of my bucks. Most daylight cruising activity.
However, my biggest have come from 10/24 until 11/4.

11/8 to 11/22 are the best 2-weeks in my experience in SENY, just over the border from CT. This is my second year hunting CT, but seemed same here. I had mature bucks on cam 11/8 to 11/20 in CT. Unfortunately, when I hunted 11/8 I only saw a bear up close.

I’m talking about actual dates that you killed stuff. Not activity. Could be one and the same I guess….but looking for dates that guys/gals had actually success knocking things down.

11/14, 11/15, 11/17 and 12/7. And going by memory, I think 12/7 or 9 my ML misfired on a huge buck chasing a doe.

My biggest was on 11/19. If I only had one week to hunt in CT, I would choose 11/14-21st.
Yes weeks before everyone sees Bucks running around. But it's later on that I see the biggest mature Bucks moving.

11/21 for me has been my best single day. Killed my biggest on that date, and also another good one. Most of my decent bucks were between 11/15 - 11/21 also mostly gun kills.

November 10 is when I have seen the most activity. I would say if I had one week to be in the woods, it would be Nov 6 ( my birthday ) thru Nov 13. Photo is my birthday buck from 2018.

In the words of Stan Potts, “If there was one day that I could be in the woods, it would be November the 11th, Veterans Day.”

I loved Stan's standard line after a good shot when he'd look into the camera and say, "give me a minute".

I've killed bucks all over November... But the date I've killed more on than any other is the 6th.
That said, my biggest was around the 20-23 time range, Monday prior to Thanksgiving one year...
