A question for future bow seasons

[First-light]

My camp is 6 hours away from home. Now most of the time we have a couple of people going so we split the driving. I have always spent two long weekends at camp one in late October (3 days) and one in early November(4 days). With the longer bow season last year I was up for a bonus weekend at the beginning. My thought is for future seasons, to maybe hunt that first weekend and take a full week off early November and forget about the late October weekend. What do you guys think?

I think that I would go back through and find the dates I got my best deer and go from there...as far as making a decision......ie...my bucks  ...Oct 22-Nov 4.....Gun season always first four days...usually 2-3 day

I always want to be in the woods Nov 7th on my B-day up north.  The old timers always said that's the time crazy things happen in the woods from about November 10th - 24th depending on a bunch of factors...  I think its a good idea.

 

The later the better IMO but I like snow...  Plus I like having more time to hunt vs setting up camp multiple times and the long trip to it.  Many years snow happened on the last few days and I was able to key in on some doe but time did not allow enough hunting to find a buck.  Hope this year I can find the massive buck tracks I found at the end of last year!  6th -16th then 22nd-7th providing work still allows my month long quest for another ADK buck!!!

My best deer are from the 2nd of November on. May just have to take that week then. Thanks to both of you!
