Don't rush. The peak of the chase will be between the 7th and the 10th. It's been the same every year I have hunted. thats when i see things heat up. Before bucks will be moving a bit looking and after they will start breeding. I see the 7th things heat up and die off after the 15th a bit.
The 7th to the 15th will be the time to really be near the does. That being said from the 1st on I look for funnels between doe bedding areas.

It's about the same here in MI. First 10 days in November are always classic rut days. |

Be in the woods on November 10th gentlemen. That is the magic day! I am heading North to Westchester on the 9th, just so I can be there the next day! |

This morning I was reading the new field and stream. It always has "the best days to be in the woods" this time of year. I find that the days they say are your best chance for a big buck are pretty accurate. Last year I saw some good bucks when they said I would.
This year they said to be in a funnel near a doe feeding area, such as an oak grove on Oct 22nd.
Oct 22nd I was at the mouth of a funnel in an oak grove when I shot my 6pt.
the next days they say are the 7th...........which is the 1 day this year I have to work from morning till dark.
the 14th is a sure bet they say.......I'll be in IL so keep your fingers crossed.
