In mid-November I would try to find a spot where gun season hadn't started yet, or at least some land that was bow only. You can, and I do, bow hunt right through gun season (legal in Minnesota) but the experience, at least for me, is reduced by having to wear orange and give up the quiet solitude of pre-gun season.
Mid November is pretty much prime time in most areas, if you could get away a little earlier it might be easier. In Minnesota, the last week of October and the first week of November is some of the best, if not the best, hunting. Gun season hasn't started yet, bucks are searching...getting excited just thinking about it.
