For me it depends on the weather. I'm also old school and don't like to hunt with the full moon.

To me it depends on the area and pressure.

Depends on the state. CO Kinda sux if you are a archery hunter because they throw a muzzleloader hunt into the best time.
For Montana, if I only have one week to invest, the second or third week are my go to weeks. More often than not that week I find one of two things: Some bulls still searching out cows with the rut at the tipping point, or the rut is on and the big bulls have harems.
In New Mexico, the hottest, driest week I can find on the weather forecast. It pulls the elk into the areas around water, and concentrates them. I find that this tends to make calling more effective since the competition is higher. Dominant bulls don't seem to like to be near each other. Sit water middle of the day, and evening.
That covers the two states that I have archery hunted elk in.

I'm an archery hunter from the east coast. The type of game here is very limited compare to my western friends. For me.....the first two weeks of November I hit it hard........
