Congratulations! I was there with some other Trad Gang guys the week of Oct 26-Nov 1. Jerry Meechum, the owner, had warned me that an early hunt was iffy but I took the chance due to scheduling. Jerry is a hoot and a real storyteller and a hard worker who is doing a lot to make the hunting as best he can. The lodge, equipment, stand placement etc. were all first rate as were the folks who worked with him. One thing I really appreciated was that they treated you like adults and would let you drive your own vehicle to the hunt site once you knew how to get there. Very accommodating as to that and hunting as long as you wanted to. Several guys stayed out all day several times, I just can't sit for that long.
We had terrible weather, warm and a lot of rain, several days of downpours. Jerry had some nice pop up blinds set out in food plots which I used a good bit but the deer didn't yet seem to be using them much. Only saw 3 does, two fork horns and a medium 8 point through Friday morning and missed Fri afternoon due to some work stuff and driving a long way home by myself.
For going to hunt out of a Lodge type environment they have it set up pretty good. Very nice rooms and showers and meals. If I went back it would be later. The area is desolate of people and in the Flint Hills region of Kansas and I really like the area and set up. As I mentioned, first class stands, no butchered ladders taped to a rotten limb type stuff. They were all solid first rate equipment.
I would love to hunt there when the deer were moving. They just weren't when I was there and its frustrating as you know they are out there.
