Best Dates?

[ridgewalker]

The MN Bow Season starts ( 9/14 ) next Sat. Other than that weekend what weekends are the best to take off work to Bow hunt before gun season?
We hunt 1,200 acres in Rochester, MN. The crop on and around the land is all beans. The closest corn is over 1 mile away this year. I have already taken Holloween Sat, Sun & monday off before the gun season opens Nov 9.

When do you think is best?

If Gun season opened November 9th, I would be hunting every waking moment from October 30th - November 8th.

I totally agree. I took off the Oct. 31 through Nov. 6th.

Oct 25th-nov1st is my favorite time. I've had more big deer encounters and they are still huntable as opposed to half way across the county chasing tail.

Obviously everyone knows late October-early November is golden, although I have had days of seeing 3-4 shooter bucks a day in early October which is unusual during the October lul. Just some luck I suppose but it has happened the last 3 years. And I am also a MN hunter
