dogdoc Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: Sooner or Later?? a lot depends on where you're going but I don't take any vacation days until November. Around here the big ones usually wait until it get a little cooler. My favorite time of the year to hunt is the first of November. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: Sooner or Later?? You didn't tell us where you're going, but if you're after big bucks, I'd say you have a better chance if you go with the later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: Sooner or Later?? I hunt in maryland, on public land after the 2nd week of october early muzzleloader seanson comes in. Those deer after that are real nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: Sooner or Later?? If I was to go away on a trip to hunt, I would want to go, as close to the rut as possible. It just increases your odds on being successful and seeing more game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: Sooner or Later?? seems like each year it dosnt get cold until later and later, i used to come in the first friday of octorber and hunt. It would be pretty cold in the early morning , that seem to make the deer move alot. but the last couple years it seems its still warm early october. anyway im coming the first friday of october and looks like now instead of the sept. 15 opener i`ll go maybe third week of october because after that those deer on public land are just GONE!
