Title: Whitetail Question
Post by: Falcon on August 04, 2017, 06:47:35 PM: Pulled a late quality whitetail tag in NE Wa that has oct 21 thru nov 22 hunt dates. Looking for a heavy mature buck. What is the best days to hunt them in the rut. I have heard the nov 19 is post rut by some.
I have 5 full days to hunt.

Thanks.
Bryan
