Is November 24th too late for the rut?

If it was me, Id want to be there the 10th through the 16th, thinking the 24th would be more post rut, and harder hunting until the brief and less action of the second cycle, around the first week of december.

Id rather hunt pre-rut than post.....heck, give me the whole month of nov.  If your hunt does not open until nov 24th, it is likely one of the hunts they time for after they believe most of the breeding has taken place.

In NE WA 15-24th is super good with it tapering after that thru the end of Nov is pretty good
