I went on a semi guided hunt in October of 2013. I was pleased with the accommodations and the land was beautiful. I don't think they're are offering semi guided hunts anymore, but that was what we did because it was more affordable than the prime rut hunts. Wes Stubbs was our guide and he did a fantastic job, helped us everyday with where to hunt, how to get in and out, was there when we got up and when we turned in for the night. He even hung more stands for us during the midday hours. These guys are the big dogs of Pike county deer hunting and they've got some great land. I only saw one shooter buck during my 5 days but it was worth it. If you think you're going to seeing 180 class bucks just running around all over the place you're not being realistic. BUT you've got a great chance to see those kind of bucks at Hadley Creek. I do know a few people who have been up there 3 years in a row before they took a trophy buck, so it's still hunting no matter where you go. One of the best things I liked about Hadley was that the owner Chalk Blankenship personally called me the following March to ask me what I thought about their operation, what I liked, what I thought they could do better. You don't get that kind of customer service from many places these days. These guys are well worth a try.
