    I hope you guys don't mind a dumb question. I have bow hunted since the 70's. Most my bowhunting has been out west here. Our bow hunt goes for 4 weeks, middle of August to the middle of September. Three years ago I went on my first whitetail hunt during the week of Thanksgiving.. I had a ball. I am going again this year. I was told to come the first or second week of November.
    My question is what week would you choose?

    If you are in Utah I would go with second week of November. If you are going to go somewhere over in the midwest or east coast then I would go first week. We see a ton of chasing bucks from November 3-7.

    In my area, I'd pick the 1st full week. Either would be good though :tu:

    I personally like catching the end of the Pre-rut just as the does start hitting estrous.

    No worry here. We are one of the few states that don't. I should have told everybody I am hunting Kansas
