Okay I had planned on taking some vacation days on the 6th and 7th of October in order to have 4 days of deer hunting since the archery season opens on the 4th. However I was thinking about changing the vacation days to the 13th and 14th.
(I am splitting up and using vacation days in sets of 2 or 3 at a time in order to facilitate more times to be outdoors and experience different hunts.)
Why? Fall turkey starts on the 11th and I was thinking that the second week of the season would lessen the crowd some also for bowhunters in the woods. It might increase the shotgun using turkey hunters but I do not think they would be as many.
No matter what happens I will be out hunting on the weekend dates of October 4,5,11 and 12th(Plus the following weekends)
I have hunted both weeks the last couple of years on both public and private lands. Hopefully this will be the same mixture. (Going this weekend to SE Ohio to scout,hunt and double check permissions)
But I am liking the ideal of hunting turkeys along with deer at the same time. I can use the legal archery to take a turkey during shotgun season.
So which week would you think would be best?
