1st or 2nd?

[mshane]

Looking for opinions here, I have taken the second full week of Novermber(10th - 14th) off work to hunt the rut and am now second guessing myself and thinking maybe I should have taken the first full week.

Last year I missed a 150-155 with my recurve from the ground on November 10th and the guy who shotgun hunts the farm killed a 150 class the following Saturday(17th) of the first gun season.

Oh, I'm in northern Illinois by the way...

So what say yee, Nov 3 - 7 or Nov 10 - 14....

Thanks,

Shane

I would prefer the 3-7.. the closer you get to the peak of the rut (10 - 14), the more big bucks will be locked down with does. I always like the last couple days of October and the first week of November... That being said, I have seen a ton of action from the 10 - 14 and killed one of my biggest bucks on the 13... I guess it all depends on the doe cycles.

is it possible to take the 2nd half of the 1st week and the 1st half of the 2nd ? I would go for that option if possible.
