| Round 2 Ends. Deer Kicking Butt |
|
Another hunting week has ended here and we're getting beat up pretty bad by the deer. Joe put the current big doe leader in the shed the other night with a shot that stopped her in her tracks. I have my doubts as to whether or not she'll hold out as the winner. But the way things have been going she could be. After that we just couldn't get him on much. Jason put a nice shot on a doe the other day but 10 hours of steady tracking failed to locate her. We had a good trail for what turned out to be miles but just couldn't complete the deal. Art and Rich had to leave early this week due to a family emergency but hope to be back to finish their week right before gun season. Hope they can get b...

| No Deer Yet. Inquiry Held by Lodge Tribunal |
|
Deer Count Yesterday: Rich: 2 (Inquest held. Moved to new location) Art: 5 (Released after questioning. Warned not to leave the area.) Jason: 3 At 20 yds (Tree limb goes on trial this morning) Joe: 0 (Transferred, placed on probation.) Scott: 15, 10 at 15 yds (Tree limb summarily executed) Nick: Couldn't count them all. (They got under him before he had gotten comfortable, or felt like hunting, or finished his coffee, or just plain too startled by so many chances that he just said forget it and didn't shoot nothin'. Nick nearly executed. Last minute stay granted by Lodge Tribunal) We have adjusted Nick's medication and he's promised to do better today. He probably better and so should the...

| Update on the Guys From Up North |
|
Not a bad day all in all. Everybody but Joe saw deer today either this morning or tonight. Guess we'll have to try to help Joe tomorrow. He's going to try a different spot in the morning. Nick was the winner of the big show tonight having a ringside seat to a great buck fight. He saw a total of 13 deer tonight but ofcourse nothing close enough to throw an arrow at. He was pretty pumped up when he came in. Rich and Art are having a great time and seeing plenty of deer. I think Art is leading in numbers seen but Rich is as enthusiastic as anybody we get here. He's concentrating and should score pretty soon. We'll be moving a couple of the guys tomorrow and I sure do hope we can change their...

| They was everywhere |
|
Everybody saw deer tonight. Jason had a little spike bed down about 20 yards away and spend the evening with him.Nick, Scott, Joe, Rich, and Art all saw a deer or 6 tonight. Just had to get that up here tonight so Jason's wife didn't come down here and kick my butt. I'll get more details up in the morning. Gotta get to bed now. See you back at the lodge.

| It Just Wasn't In The Cards |
|
Well, Mike and Richie left yesterday morning with a pretty fair 8 point in the cooler. Nothing much moved all week except for the one night. If not for the coon and flock of turkeys Mike might not have taken his buck. He suspects that they were making so much racket over the buck's bed that he decided he'd move to get some peace and quiet. Unfornuately for him and fortunately for Mike that meant walking by Mike at about 7 yards. He's not the biggest guy in the woods but when they stop that close and its Friday morning... Well you guys that have been here know how that feels. He was a nice 2 1/2 year old that dressed out at 140lbs. I hope that next year will be better for them. Jason and t...

| Big Buck! Big Buck! Big Buck! |
|
That was Cole the Guide. Mike: "WHAT?" Cole: (pointing) Mike: "*&*%^!" That's how it went as Mike was getting ready to go into the woods last night. They watched as, what Mike called the biggest deer he's ever seen in his life, got up from his bed in the beans right in front of them and calmly trotted off. Cole says it was a 140 - 150 class but Mike thinks it might have been bigger than that. He said it was bigger than what you usually see on the hunting videos. Want to guess where he and Richie are going tonight? Richie just saw one deer last night. He thinks it was a deer anyway. Said it came by so fast he couldn't even tell if it was a buck or doe. Being sure it was being chased by the...

| They Had Us Surrounded! |
|
It was a slow evening for the most part. We only counted 49 deer after noon yesterday. Unfortunately most of those were seen by the guides while waiting for the dynamic duo to come out of their stands. Mike did see quite a few deer including a probable shooter that went by through the brush about 55 yds away. Naturally he was much happier with this new stand site and couldn't wait to sit it today or move a little closer to the trail he'd seen the big one on. Then the morning came. The wind has come around 180 degrees and is just flat wrong for that spot. Rather than pushing his luck he's someplace else right now and not very happy about it. Wish I could Change it for him. He had a little ...

| And They're Off |
|
Mike and Richie are here with us this week From New Jersey. Many of you already knew that but I thought I'd mention it anyway. That may in fact be the most interesting thing about their trip so far. The weather has been the pits since they got here. This morning was the first hunt that things looked pretty good. On a morning I figured there would be deer running and frolicing in every open space there wasn't much to write home about. Mike saw a button up where Jimmy took his Buck last year and Richie didn't see a deer. He did see 3 turkeys. But let's face it, that's not what they're looking for. We did a little scouting today that brightened the faces of our intrepid duo. Richie is back i...

| Rain, Rain, Go Away |
|
Mike and Richie are due in in just a couple of huors and wouldn't you know it, its raining. You'd think it was me that was going to hunt. I guess I should be glad I'm not the only one this happens to but I was hoping for a little nicer start to our season here. Forecast is calling for quite a bit of rain this week but not much in the way of wind. Temps should be real good for hunting too. I guess I shouldn't fret too much. There's a great story in this month's North American Whitetail about a guy that gets the buck of a lifetime in the rain. Sure makes for a worriesome track though. Not much has gone on this week since Nick went home. Been trying to help get the farm ready for my extended...
