They arrived at D & S New Hope Lodge just before lunch on Saturday.

The lodge is a remodeled Church of the Brethren.

 

The church’s fellowship hall was transformed into bedrooms and living area for hunters and other visitors. 

The guys enjoyed attending the new church (a few miles away) on Sunday morning, then after lunch checked out their hunting area .

Jere’s Monday hunt was over at 8:00 AM – he would have to wait until Tuesday to try and fill his second tag.

 

 

Jeff had gotten his buck an hour earlier.  This is a self-portrait by Jere.  I thought it was rather neat!

 

Jeff got a second buck on Wednesday morning.

 

Ready to head home.

These guys had never been together on a hunt – but unanimously agreed to go back next year.

It was not a very successful hunt for many in the area, so Jeff and Jere feel blessed.  They were the only two to harvest deer in this group.  They heard from many hunters who did not get a deer.  The local hunters said the rut is late – the probable reason for this low harvest.
