I don't put much into specific dates other than historical dates, IE 11/14 is pretty good day to hunt. While looking at the 2011 calander for next years hunting, the date sort of stood out. Friday 11/11/11 It is at the peak where I hunt and usually has activity. It could be a good date to be in the woods. So I checked, full moon is on 11/10/11?, moon set on 11/11 7:25 AM, sun rise 6:34. I hope to be on stand.
-
Now that is what I call pre-planning. Good thinking.
-
Lord willing ill be in a tree ;) ;)
-
Seems like an 11 pointer might be in your future.
-
Six hours before or after moon set should be prime feeding time as per the solunar table.
-
I have had more luck with a rising moon. But for that day it's 20+minutes after hunting hours. I think the 10Th would be the better day to hunt..
-
Are you kidding me......I just can't plan or think that far ahead. I'm hope'n I'm able to get out of bed that day and hunt or do anything else for that matter!!! :dunno:
-
And to think there are those that are predicting that a great hunting day in the middle of the rut is going to be the end of the world. The numbers are for astrology wackos, but the full moon the second week of November is for bow hunters. This year the rut was off and so was the full moon.

A prize to the TradGang member who makes a BG kill on or closest to 11:11 on 11/11/11. Honor system and accurate watches applies!
-
BG kill?
I don't know what this one is.
Please enlighten me.
Thank you!
God bless,Mudd

If I'm not mistaken the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th month in the year 1918 was when the Armistice was signed ending WW I. Thus was born Veterans Day.
Just a bit of trivia but my Grandfather was a doughboy, and a veteran of trench warfare in France, and that date held special meaning to him. I'll be in the woods that day but at the 11th min.of the 11th hour, I'll will pause and say a silent prayer.
-
BG = Big Game, Mudd. Try to keep up or you'll have to sit at the children's table....
-
I will plan on being in the hills hunting on 11-11-1011 I'll figure on something great happening. Also Rick at the appointed time as you indicated I will also pause and say a prayer like you. My Grandfather was also a doughboy in France during WWI. When I hunt I always take in my heart and mind those vets who served and those who gave their all. I think of my old army buddies and all those who serve now. Every hunt is always successful and because of our vets then and now, I can still hunt. I am thankful and in good company.
-
At 48, I'm still at the "children's table", as far as Trad Archery goes. I hope to be ready to make the switch from "training wheels" to the bows of my fore-fathers. That would be a great day to slay my first Trad deer!
-
I missed a really big (170" class) 6x6 buck this past season on 10/10/10. He jumped the string, spun away and my arrow passed along side what was a split second before a broadside buck. Otherwise I would have had him. So much for predictions :>(
-
Mr. Wensel up to that moment in time he was all yours, which aren't they all until we actually have to. Now your have 11/11/11 to make it all better with that specific deer.
-
Take the whole week off and be on stand as much as possible! :thumbsup:
-
I think I will also put my tree stand 11 feet, 11 inches off the ground just for good measure.
-
Hey guys, 11/11/11 is Veterans Day. I will also be out hunting in Honor of my Veteran family members, friends, buddies and other Veterans. God Bless them all for they gave us this freedom to do as we will. Don
-
And have an 11 point bruiser stand for the shot at 11 paces. I'm liking the rhythm of all this...
-
Veterans day first.
Then on 11/11/11 an 11 pointer at 11 feet 11 inches at 11 AM.

OK-- let's really clinch it: on 11/11/11, we will be exactly 11 feet off the ground in a treestand, shooting arrows that weigh 11gpi, at a deer that comes in at the 11:00 position. We will all wear size 11 boots, regardless of our actual size, and we will endlessly and silently chant "eleveneleveneleven.." That should be as close to a sure thing as possible. Also, only shoot a deer with 11 points. Let me know how it goes.
-
I marked my calendar for 11/11/11. Hope I get the buck Gene missed.
-
DV of WI,this is your 111th post...
-
This is too weird. The weatherman is calling for 11 degrees where I hunt on 11/11/11. :rolleyes:
-
add the year you were born to how old you will be this year and see what you come up with. mine 1971 and i will be 40,71+40=111!i told my wife this past season on 10-10-10 i was going to harvest a ten point,i took a six point!
-
CG- Adding 1951 and 60 also gives me 111-pretty darn scary. But will try to hunt this Veterans Day, just as I have in many years in the past, to give a moments reflection to veteran family members and all who have served.
-
I will hold the bow back for 11 seconds, on THE 11 yards out, 11 feet up, at 11:11:11A.M. DEER. i will wait for 11 minutes before i start down the blood trail, and I will wait until 11;11;11 PM to call in to the confirmation number. No wait, I am going to shoot the first deer that comes by next year and I will either be chasing turkeys or pheasants by 11:11::
-
Now that is interresting, wasn't planned to be my 111 post. Must be all in the numbers. Yes, it will time to reflect for those who have given so much first.
-
Born in 62 will be 49 =111
Started the 11-11-11 post which was my 111 post.
Maybe I should play the lottery this Saturday.
-
Didn't have any luck on 1/11/11...maybe 11/11/11 will be better.
-
Looking back on some of the notes I have. On 11/11/09 I took a 5 pt. On 11/11/10 I took a doe. Both of them were taken from the same tree stand standing in the same spot. Lord willing I know where I'll be on 11/11/11.
-
Sounds like a plan. 11/11/11 sit all day; shoot an 11 pointer at 11:11 AM. Nothin could be better. Best of luck.
-
Weatherman is calling for 11 inches of snow that day.
-
Unless my wife passes, I'll never hunt 11/11....it's her birthday!
-
My big day will be 12/12/12 - hope it goes better than Gene's 10/10/10
-
If I cannot be hunting on 11-11, I will be enjoying 11 bottles of beer.
(not really I rarely drink, but I thought it sounded good)
-
All right Steve I'm on. I got my vacation day in and already know what stand my size 11's will be in.
-
Dodged 10/10/10 without getting hitched but now the girlfriend wants to get married 11/11/11. Said ain't no way, Veterans day is always peak rut in my area so I'll be busy that day...8^) Have it now postponed at least until 12/12/12... :)
-
Well We are Closer. I hope for a NW wind and sitting in a stand in IL.
-
Haven't you lads heard that the world is going to end on Oct. 21st. No need for planning. Hap
-
That's the last day of early bow season in Indiana.
-
This is spooky. I got chills and shaking...
-
It should be a good day for Migrabill - maybe he'll add to this post and explain..........
-
Looks like you will be shooting an 11pt at 11:11am at 11 yards.
-
I'm taking off the 9th and 10th along with the 11th just to be on the safe side- MO gun season starts on the 12th and the week before the guns start banging has always been my favorite week to bowhunt!

11 has always been my lucky number too. How do I get another buck tag????
-
Tom you have to drive to Ohio and get your tag. LOL
-
I'm going to use my 111# pound bow that day :archer2:
-
November 11th has some history to it. It is obviously Armistice Day. It was the day of the deadly storm that killed many duck hunters on the Mississippi River. It was the day the Edmond Fitzgerald sank on gitchee gomee (my best day ever hunting ducks).
This year it may bring me a buck of a lifetime. A special day for me to be afield.
-
I killed my first bow killed buck on 11-11-69 so 11-11 has always been special to me. The Good Lord willing I will be out there on 11-11-11.

You know...you have to hit quartering away in the llth rib, and get 11 inches of penetration (which is what will happen with bow creep after holding for 11 seconds, and going through your 11 long mental checklist before dropping the string)
Me, I think I'll start writing down 11 excuses to use ahead of time...just in case.
-
Let's hope we can be on stand at 11:11 on 11/11/11 and have an 11 pointer at 11 yards!!!! Now that would be crazy.
-
And I in 61...and am 50.
-
And at 11:00 AM in Germany on 11/11/11 people will be celebrating Fasching. I celebrated the start quite often, but don't remember too much of them :D
-
I begin 4 weeks vacation 25 hours from now and Friday, November 11, 2011 at 11:11 AM, I'll be thinking of this thread, that is unless I have an eleven point standing in front of me...8^)
BTW, I won't be at the alter...8^)
-
One thing for sure...when you shoot your 11 point on 11/11/11 at 11am at 11 yards he will only run 11 yards after the shot and stand there 11 seconds then fall over. He will break your arrow leaving you with 11 good ones from the dozen you bought that took 11 days to get to you.RC
