What's the deal with the first week of November? #1839103

I used to bowhunt a good bit but got out of it until starting back up this past year. In the past I always considered bow season to be the best opportunity to take a mature buck in Alabama given the rut is hit or miss from year to year.

I keep seeing post on here and other forums about guys that are taking off the first week of November. A lot say its the best time of the year and would rather take that week off rather then spending vacation days in January for the rut. What is so special about that week? Please elaborate.

midwest rut... most folks take off that week or for me the week after to go chase big whitetail bucks somewhere in the midwest.

I mean yeah I get the cooler weather stuff but these are guys that are getting excited about the first week in November for Alabama and not the midwest. Thought I may have missed the memo or something.

Gotcha, I have no idea why one would want to burn vacation to deer hunt in early November in Bama.

Early November is great in this part of Alabama. Most other places it isn't though so I ain't sure why folks would get excited about it in other parts of Alabama.

Early November is the best time for me to kill a buck.

^^^Yep. It's my favorite week and I take it off every year. The 3rd and 6th are my luckiest days.

I only got the first two weeks this year. I had to burn a week to take the ol' lady to St. Lucia for our 25th wedding anniversary.
