Hopeful, yes. Optimistic, no.
It's cliche but true. You never know in November. I've killed a couple good ones during November warm fronts. They won't move as much, but if the right doe wanders through that can change in a hurry. I've seen younger bucks cruising around behind my house the last 2-3 days and got pics of a decent buck chasing a doe through the backwater last week.
I'll pack my thermacell, put on a t-shirt, and go see what happens.
