best time to hunt a funnel in november in West central MI?

Unread postby wmihunter » Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:07 pm

if given a choice what is the best 2-3 days to sit in a funnel in november in your opinion? I am trying to pick the best days as time is limited. I am hunting funnels (mostly) in kansas from Nov 18-23. Here is MI my time is limited. I have the following days at my disposal Nov 2,4,6,7(1/2 day), 9, 11, 13. I am leaning towards the 6, 7 or the 9 as the chase phase will be in full swing and it should be approx the onset of the main breeding in my opinion. What do you think?

Looks like any of those days would work in my oinion, I've seen good movement on any of those days in a given sesason. However, I tend towards the earlier end of your range. I'd go 4,6, and 9.

I don't know about your area, but here in west central WI. the chase has started. I would tend to agree with Black Squrrel that the earlier dates will good. This all depends on how the weather plays into these days as well, but the way things in my area are going now it should be RED HOT by then. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do and how the movement is.

Good luck tomorrow, wmh- over the last 4+ decades I've seen more nice bucks on the move in MidMichigan on November 6th than on any other day, including some beasts. The next ten days, as a time frame, are very good. 8-)
