Dave Hempel’s Testimonial

Dear Steve, On behalf of Doug “Tiger” Mehaffey, Travis Mehaffey, Lynn Mooneyham , Kevin MaCormick and myself, I am sending this short report. We had a great hunt this year (our 5th year) at Wolf Creek, and as you probably have heard, Travis took a tremendous 190 gross buck this year. In addition, Lynn’s 8 pointer is over 140 and 21” inside, my 8 pointer is near 140 and almost 20” inside, and Kevin’s buck is a 150 class 10 pointer. The tree I have hunted and taken bucks from each of the last 2 years had water 8-10 feet deep! Herb Rush went out if his way to find me another location on the farm and he did a great job. Friday I saw a great 8 pointer that would have been well over 140 but a G-3 and a brow tine were snapped off. Herb and I also saw another big buck while placing my stand that we agreed was 150 class with dark antlers, a buck not seen during the hunt. Lynn’s buck had a G-2 snapped off and Kevin’s buck had a G-3 and a brow snapped off. Even the 190 buck had a significant drop tine, the diameter of a nickel, completely snapped off with a ½” stump remaining. There is some serious fighting on that farm. Thanks Steve for a quality hunt every year, Herb Rush is great and our accommodations only 10 miles away are just fine. We plan to be your regular customers for many, many years.

This is our Mehaffey family and friends. Each hunter has taken the best buck of his life with ITB, and all on the same farm. They are a great example of dedicated hunters working as a team with ITB guides for hunting success. They will be returning to hunt the same farm for the 6th year.
