Last year it was very sporadic early (Nov1-3). Didn’t see any Bucks for the first three days and then Nov 4-7 was good. I had to leave on Nov 8th. Trail cameras showed activity good all the way through gun season with the peak being about Nov 7th. I only have a 1 year sampling period so who knows.
Up there I would say Nov 5-12 may be better for you. My experience up in that area was later was always better even more so if you get north of Hwy 8.
