I LOVE OCTOBER

People ask me all the time what is the best when booking a hunt.  This is a good question and each week has it's perks and it's downfalls.  I personally like the last week and a half of October.  We consistetnly shoot more and better bucks that time frame than most other time frames throughout the year.  Yes, that can change sometimes and some years we do better in November, but for consistencly, late October trumps early November for us.  I like the consistent movement in October and the ability to put a pattern together instead of the hit and miss hunts in November because it's basically a free for all in buck movement with no consisitent pattern.  Late October, we will concentrate a lot of our hunting on natural and mock scrapes in and around food plots or the current food source at the time.  Where as in early November, we try to concentrate more on the downwind side of bedding areas trying to get a cruising buck.  Again, the consistency in these two set ups will always benefit the late October hunts.  Yes, we harvest big deer in both time frames each year but the most and the most consistent is the October time frame.
