Mickey, LeRoy will be here till sunday. I think he is gonna leave after the morning hunt but may leave first thing in the morning. I guess it depends if he is sick of dragging by then.
I talked to LeRoy about 9:30pm and he was starting to get sleepy. He was gonna pull over and sleep awhile and should role into the ranch around 7-8am. I doubt we will be able to get to a computer but i'm sure we'll return with pics and all the details. I'm sure i'll be talking to Dick so he might be able to give you guys a heads up if we get something on the ground. The weather and moon phase are gonna be working against us but i'm sure we'll make do.

LOL!! Well Steve...I'm not sure how much I gained but Shannon sure did feed me well!
I arrived at Chad's about 2:30am on Wednesday so I took a 4hour nap on the truck seat until Shannon got up. Then went in for some coffee and waited for Chad to get home from work. When he arrived we talked for awhile then it was off to check stands and get me oriented with the area followed by a trip to Wal Mart for my license and a few odds and ends.
Wednesday afternoon found me sitting the same stand that Charlie had been in the year before along the edge of the property. The stand had a scape within about 15 yards. No movement the first night, or the next morning in that stand so one Thursday evening I switched stands to the oak grove stand behind the house. Sometime around 5:45 a lone deer came into the right. Not a big deer but..... a tender one. After watching the deer mill around for about an hour munching on acorns with the light fading it ended up broadside to me at the bottom of the hill. I decided to try for the shot. So I came to full draw released and shot low. When I got down to find my arrow on the way into the house I found out why my shot was low. 27 yards out to my arrow. Let me tell ya shooting down hill from a high stand will screw up your perception of distance. LOL!!

Thursday morning found me back in Charlie's stand doing a little calling and rattling. There wasn't much happening then all of a sudden there was a buck....no two bucks! Neither was very big but both very nice looking animals. One was a small four or five point and the second a respectable little possible 8 pt. They hung out for about 5-10 minutes and then the 4pt lit out like a scalded dog. I figured he caught wind of me but the other one was still there in the brush not 12 yards from me with the wind blowing to him so that theory was shot. The second buck then got nervous and took of in the same direction as the first.
That's when I heard it.... a very deep grunt. Movement to my front and slightly left. This was a shooter buck for sure. Probably a 130 class 9pt with a wide rack and a big body. He came in went behind a huge oak in front of me and proceeded to make a new scape. He then exited without allowing me a shot. Wow!! Three nice bucks within a fifteen minute period of time. I finished out my morning in the stand reflecting on what had happened then went back to the house to meet up with Chad. He was having a buck moment of his own. That morning between the two of us we saw 4 P&Y bucks. The afternoon was uneventful and Friday the same except for the sound of turkey calls from all around me. Saturday I kicked out a deer on the way to my stand and never saw a deer that morning which was my last sit as the weather turned rainy on us for the afternoon. This morning as I was on my way home Chad sat my stand and saw the 4-5 pt buck I saw but had no shot at him.
Guaranteed this will not be my last trip to Adams county! Thanks for a Great Time Bro! Wish I could have stayed longer and had a cahnce to see Mickey and Di...Have to work sometime though. LOL!!
Might be back in January for a Bunny Hunt with Chad and Bill Dunn.

I for one must say that this hunt had me worried. We had the moon working against us from the start and then the weather went screwy. Things finally took a turn for the better on friday morning. Man the bucks were moving! I'm convinced that our luck on friday morning came from our trip out to dinner on thursday night. Between LeRoy,Shannon, and myself, we managed to spend $145 on dinner and refreshments. With our pockets lighter, we focused more on hunting.
On friday midday we ventured over to the Zipper factory to pick up my new quiver! Spent alot of time looking at wood and bows and rotting bear skulls! Just a tip for ya, If you leave 4 bear skulls in the garage for 3 days in 80 degree temps they are gonna smell a lil bit! All in all it was a great hunt even if we didn't get any deer to ride in the truck. LeRoy was a great guest and brought enough bows with him to keep a small army at bay. He left with more bows than he came with even though i did try to get him to leave one behind. I hope the next time we get together there will be more blood on the ground and less moon in the sky!

Your right Leroy, Jason does have you beat that is for sure!!
It must be a tradition for Leroy to leave with one more bow than what he came with. He did the same thing here in Michigan at the beginning of the month.
