    For the activity? Mid season for sure.

    You can't beat the scenery around here, though during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of October.

    First two weeks of November for me. I like early season to catch them on their feeding patterns but first two weeks in November things start getting real.

    Mid season. Though I enjoy being warm the first couple weeks of October before temps start to drop.

    I love early season! The heat doesn't bother me one bit. I have shot more bucks in September, then any other month. I love playing the cat and mouse game with them and trying to figure them out on there terms. Was never a fan of the rut, just to random for me. If I haven't got a buck by mid season, I usually take a week to hunt the rut. That is the best time to catch a buck out moving that I was chasing during early season. For late season, I just never have the food. That can make for some tuff late season hunts.
