I'm on the calendar to be off the 27th to the 11th . If we have any warm days or really heavy rains I'll go into work and save my time but at least it's on the calendar so they won't schedule any projects then.
When's your rut vacation?

I’m seriously reconsidering my Kentucky trip(s) as I learn more about how bad they were hit with EHD in that area last year. May have to postpone that little adventure for a couple years

I have an area that I'm going to hunt the first week of November when the weather is perfect as that's where I got my best pictures last year of quite a few nice bucks during daylight.
Outside of that I plan on hunting around when everyone else will be on the property I hunt for the rut.

The question is, when will the rut begin this season? I’m thinking at 7:09am October 29th. Gonna start hunting as much as I can 3 week of Oct through deer gun season. All I’ll have is weekends and a couple weeks during that time frame.
Good luck everyone and have a safe season.

Quite possible, it’s been nice in cool in the mornings as I headed off to work the past few days....
I try to wait it out until the second week in November. I usually fail.... I'm in the woods from 30 Sept until Thanksgiving.... Usually on weekends, regardless of the weather. Could be 85, high sun, on a full moon. Most of my deer are shot before 9 am, in the first three weeks of November.

Shooting for the week of Halloween. Pardon the pun
Well my plan was to be off from October 29th through November 9th. Those are my two favorite weeks in the woods. But I found out last week I have a training for work that last week of October that I just can't get out of. Oh well. I'll have to settle for just the second week. There are worse problems to have I suppose. lol
I cant schedule any vacation per se, but I will have the wife dropping the daughter off at babysitters in the morning so I can get a few hours of stand time in starting around the week of October 22. We always have hot does with bucks bedded with them by the 25th around here.

November 8-18 will be my vacation this season. In the last 5 seasons I’ve found that later is by far superior in my area. I saw mature bucks last season on Nov 10,11,12,14,16.
