Yea well, I notice differences in chasing it seems every year. And anytime I'm in the woods around late November, I typically don't see a lot of action. I completely plan on spending time in the woods late this fall though.
Far as I'm concerned, if I can hunt the first two weeks of Nov, that's when I'm hunting. Year in and out, my best time comes then. I hunted some great weather last year from Nov 10th to the 20th. It was the worst rut I've ever hunted. I saw about 8 deer total and 4 of which were the same bucks....
