November 8th!! Maybe the best day of the year!!
« on: November 08, 2009, 03:38:00 AM »
I don't know about all of you in other parts of the country, but here in the midwest, I think Nov 8 may just be the best day of the whole year to hunt.  If you're not working, better get out there from dark to dark.

Wonderful things could happen!

Unfortunately, I have to work and it's supposed to be about 73 degrees today...

Oh well, I'll be out there on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I hope you're right. I've been out for 16 different hunts and only seen two deer total. I can't believe how slow it's been, I haven't even spooked any deer. I'm not the best hunter by any means but I feel I'm decent, so I hope it revs up today. Good luck to all.

Sunrise in two hours here and ENE wind, perfect to sit behind the big old oak log for a ground blind on the south edge of my place. Won't sit from can't see to can't see, but about to give it a few hours to start the day.

I am partial to Nov. 9 and 11.

If you can find the article written by Jerald Bullis(1987), it explains "valley days".
Those days may very well be "valley days" for the bucks but they have provided me with "mountain top" experiences.
According to the data graphed out in the article the main "valley days" are Nov. 11,14,18,21,24 and 30. I don't understand why the 9th was left off...lol

I have always liked the 6th - 8th, Three days hunting are better than just one.   :)  I bumped a buck and doe at 2:30PM yesterday on the way to my stand, and shot a doe before sunset. Double lunged and she only went 25-30 yards. What a blessing.  :archer:

The absolute best day to be in the woods is any day you can be out there... or at least that's been my limited experience.

Early to mid November around here is a magical time no doubt. Pulled out of my driveway yesterday at 11:30 and 200 yards up the road in front of me a nice buck crossed the road on the hunt.

I'm a Nov. 9th guy Dave. I've killed 3 bucks on the 9th. I hope they're right about the light rain and a little cooler temps tomorrow.

I would have been out today but our grandaughter spent the night and she wanted Pa-Pa to make her pancakes for breakfast.

Good luck everyone.

Charlie's got my vote, Any day hunting is better than any day doing something else.

 By the Way Dave did you get your bow fixed up after the incident in the parking lot? Hope so.
 Good Luck and good hunting to all no matter what day you get to hunt.

Well Rob, since I had to work on my special day, and since I'll be off work on Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe I'll have to forgo sleep Tuesday morning and test your theory.  I'll let you know if you are correct and I'll gladly change my opinion of so...

Nov 4 closely followed by Oct 25 here.
Now my goal is to figure out Oct 5-25, and I'll change my handle to Mr. Oct.
But for now, I'll be in the tree Wed -Fri, then let the boom sticks have it.

Dave, Just wondering what you base your thoughts on?
 

 As for my hunt today....

I was in a tree for 5 hrs. this morning in a spot most guys would sell there truck to get to hunt, I could see at least 100yds. in every direction....and didn't see squat!  So much for Nov. 8th.... That's hunting....

I agree with Charlie     :thumbsup:    

The best days of any season are the days that you make your best educated guess as to where you need to hunt. Then the deer "follow the script"...

Too many other factors every season and on a daily basis to actually say one day is "the best"....
