I always enjoy individual opinions on this topic. You only have 3 consecutive days to hunt in a calendar year - give me the dates and species. Mine would be Nov 9-11 for Whitetails in IL...
Opening day, for the reasons mentioned above... and then, Nov. 10 & 11. Opening day and Nov. 11 have been by FAR my two most productive days afield.
Even though I hate hunting in warm weather, I'd probably go with the first 3 days of the season! They're not pressured yet and on a regular feeding pattern!
Thats depressing to even think about. But i would have to go with the first day and then Nov. 9th and 10th oh i didnt read the consecutive part. I'd have to go with Nov.9,10 and 11
Ah, I glossed ove the consecutive part, too... If they've got to be in a row, then absolutely Nov. 9, 10, and 11.

October 30th, 31st, and November 1st... Mitchell Lake Whitetail in Ely, and if I fill my two tags, it's down to to swamp bucks of Washburn Co. WI. Fortunately, I should be able to average 4-5 days of hunting/videotaping per week! Life is good
Nov 10, 11, 12. PA. Had more buck sightings during this time frame hunting a cut corn field this past season than EVER.
I would have to go with Oct. 26th, 27th, and 28th. These have been the best days for deer/buck movement for my buddy and I for the last 9 years that he has kept a log of our hunts. This past season was the only time that I have had alot of sightings in November.
