What is your favorite day/ date to bowhunt the rut? Why? Everyone has a special day or days. Some like the cruising stage, some the lockdown., and some post rut. When is yours.

2nd and 3rd week of November.

I'm kind of partial to every day. I just love being in the woods. But then again the first 2 weeks of November are special too.

Whatever days I can. If I have a choice, some where around the 15th of November. First stage does are done, the seek is over, and bucks are moving finding their next doe.

I’ve never had a lot of pre rut success. But, there is a couple days window on the backside that bucks are every where looking. So, if you are around a die in heat, you get lots of action.

Veteran's Day

Nov. 8th has been lucky to me.

Any day after a cold front comes thru. Or any day 4 days before or 4 days after Veterans Day. I would also add the last week of season if it’s cold and snow on the ground if you hunt over bait or around a good food supply. Afternoon hunts are best the last week.

I hunt everyday. I like hunting food sources early. I have trouble shooting the bucks in the rut. They Won't stand still.

I like that 3,or 4 day stretch either side on Veterans day like Gobbler said , With my best day being Nov 9 ,Seems like i have written that date on a lot of Buck tags over the years.
