Preferred days of the week.
Everyone knows that most people hunt the weekend. So, if you had a choice. What would be the days of the week you would prefer to hunt? I'm thinking Wednesday an Thursday. That way the woods seem a little quieter an not as much disturbance an people are not roaming around.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
I agree with you. Wednesday and Thursday are the least likely to be taken by other guys and the farthest from the previous weekend. Gives the woods a couple days to cool down.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
I really don't think it matters much... Once the season is open and people are hunting there the deer patterns tighten up. Whether its Saturday or Thursday I don't personally think makes much of a difference on which spot they bed or how early or far they move.
I think high pressure days like Saturdays are good days to hunt cause you can see the pressure and see where others hunt and adjust accordingly. The downfall would be that some people may see where you hunt and think you know more than them and hunt your spot.
Another good thing about weekends is for working stiffs like me you can get out to your more remote spots that are hard to reach on work days due to time restraints.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
I hunted weekdays and weekends and noticed consistent deer change in patterns once gun season opened up aka I can't say one day off the week was better for me based on my experience

Re: Preferred days of the week.
My lease boarders some high pressure land and they mostly hunt weekends. I always see more deer on Wednesday and Thursday. Works good for me because I work a rotating schedule and only have off one weekend a month.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
I love Thursdays. If its good but unsuccessful you have the weekend the hit it again before sign or pressure could change it again.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
I used to think Wednesday and Thursday were the best. That was until I did a little checking on my calendars. I have hunted everyday of the week for years on end. It turns out Saturday was my best day for kills. It kind of surprised me when I actually checked the dates vs days of kills. I think Dan may have pointed out some reasons why.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Yes, Packer Sunday is my favorite time to hunt as pressure is WAY down. I try to not catch the score on my phone and pretend it's live later when I watch the game.

Re: Preferred days of the week.
We only get heavy pressure from one side so I don't think it really matters. Personally, I like Fridays. Mainly because I try and take a half day of work and then drive the three hours to where I hunt and then spend the weekend in the woods. I love getting in the woods after the drive down. My buddy and I plan the whole way down. Now that the speed limit is up to 70 in Illinois, that's 15 more minutes we get in the stand Friday afternoon!
