How many hunters do you book per week? Just 2 per county? How many sets/stands per tract? Getting to the stand? On us, or atv, or ? Temperature roughly in October?
Hi Sean! Max booking per week is two hunters per property. There are 5 stands in place at Pike County and 4 stands at Adams County. We encourage you to bring a climber as there are plenty of appropriate size trees to get into if you prefer a different stand location. Stands are within a 10-15 minute walk from parking areas. October last year was in the upper 70’s to low 80’s and the year before, we had snow on the ground, so it’s anyone’s guess as far as the weather goes. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to do our best to answer them!
Ok, thank you. I/we would be coming from the surface of the SUN(Florida) so just figuring out logistics. Is Pike a crossbow county? Could i bring an atv or utv to get around?
Yes, crossbow. You’re welcome to bring an atv/utv for deer retrieval, if needed.
What’s the 2 day gun price
Pike County is archery only. We offer gun and archery at the Adams County property. Two day gun season at Adams County is $1,200.00. Thanks for asking!
This is our third full season and with both properties combined, a total of three bucks have been taken. These bucks were 130″ or under. Hunters have had numerous opportunities to take bucks 150″ and over, but for various reasons including misses and miscalculations, haven’t been able to accomplish the goal. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the update
How many total acres of hunting land is available in Adams County? for the $1600 fee?
Hi Dave — The Pike County property is archery only and $1,600.00 for a weekly lease, which includes accommodations and 27 acres. There is more detailed information on this under the tab “Location and Leasing Information for Pike County, Ohio”. The Adams County property offers archery and gun hunting on 18 acres, without accommodations so the rates are a little different. You will find those rates under “Location and Leasing Information for Adams County, Ohio”. If you have additional questions, please reach out to us directly at the email address and/or phone number listed under the “Contact Information” tab on this website.
Last year our big bucks at Pike County did not start showing on camera until September and they seem to be following that same pattern this year.
When we start to get pictures of them again, we will post them to the website. Just check back periodically for picture updates.
Hope this helps!
