Trying to pick my dates for my hunting trip to hunt my buddy's land in Ohio. Looking to go during bow season. I was thinking nov 1-9th. That a good time of year to hunt? Any help would be great.

Ill be hunting in hocking county if that helps. I'm hoping to be there around the rut will I be close?

That should be a great week and the deer should be chasing. If you have private land to hunt it should be a great experience. Good luck.

it is a good time but not a guarentee. i have buddies that come every year first week of november and some years it is great and perfect and some years they are off by a week.

they'll def be up and about chasing but yea i still do feel its a toss up. I would try my hardest to hold off for mid november rather than first week, good luck and enjoy your hunt!!!

thanks guys. Im sure it will be fun. being from vermont im not used to having the possibility of a big buck walking thru any second. that thrill alone of the chance of that happening will be awsome.

Pre rut to rut is all good, I have never liked hunting the rut with a bow. Not that it can't be done, but it is that much harder to get them stopped when they are hot on a doe.

Yeah that should be good date.

That should be good. second week of november is usually a great time here in North East Ohio. No guarantee of course, but that's a good plan.
