Use something related to the land itself. What county? Any nearby towns? What's the land like? Pines? Oaks? Rolling hills? Swamp? What stands out about the land? List the first 5 things you say or think of, when describing the land or the hunting there. Is the hunting quality good or is it more of a beer/campfire/getaway place?
For lots of the NELP a good name may be "Spike Horn Acres" or "Barely Legal Lodge" and use a one antlered 3" spike as the mascot. :biglaugh:

Don't they have antler restrictions in club country? Must really be working well.
:biglaugh:

I like
Kill Shot Lodge.

Tooner,
No, there's no APR's in the NELP. That's the joke. Get it?
There's Hunter Choice rules in the NELP. Anyone can still shoot spikes in the NELP. Lots of people are still confused by that. Too many, to be honest. If you hunt the NELP, pick up a rule book when you buy your tag(s). It's all in there.
Good luck!

I do hunt in the NELP and I'm quite familiar with the rules. But I will check out the rule book. Is it different from the DNR website?
Maybe the DNR is confused too.
(http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag300/Sylvan25/1-apr_zpsb76c273f.jpg)
Hunters Choice is an APR, just one of the different kinds in MI.
Get it?
:biglaugh:
-
I call my 80 acres and cabin in Northern Wisconsin, "The Hard Way Camp." If you select Hard Way Lodge, as Normandie suggests, I might have to sue you for copyright infringement, or something like that. Just kidding. It's a good name. :goldtooth:
-
Not to hijack, but anyone can shoot spikes with the single tag. APR's mean everybody has to have the same rules.
In the NELP and UP, hunters can choose if they want additional restrictions. The DNR has it wrong on your link. They correct it below. In order to be true APR's, the restriction has to apply to all buck tags. In the NELP, some 50% of buck hunters can kill any buck they want. It's only those who choose to kill up to two bucks that voluntarily restrict themselves, at the time of tag purchase.
6.What is the difference between an APR and Hunter’s Choice?
An APR is intended to be the same across all antlered deer licenses (i.e. you have the same restrictions no matter which license type you purchase). Hunter’s Choice was a restriction designed to allow hunters to have different restrictions based upon which license type is purchased. In Michigan, specifically the Upper Peninsula and DMU 487 located in the Northeast Northern Lower, Hunter’s Choice involves a 3 point APR on the regular kill tag of the combination license (there is also a statewide 4 point APR on the restricted kill tag) or no APR (3 inch statewide minimum length applies) on the single archery and single firearm licenses BUT with a 1 buck limit restriction.
Being a law enforcement officer who enforces driving rules all day, you should know that ignorance of the law is no excuse. ;)
If you've been voluntarily restricting yourself, that's cool, but you don't have to do so, if you don't want to. NELP hunters killed piles of spikes the past few years.
There's a Spike Horn Acres near my property. I always thought it was a solid name for a NLP camp. But if one likes, Eight Point Acres works just as well. There's a God's Little Acre by my land too.
-
How about "Lost Arrow Lodge"?

The DNR must be confused then, because they consider hunters choice an APR. You probably better take that up with them.
:biglaugh:
Laws are enforced as written, not how hunters/motorists interpret them.
Now, back to the original intent of the thread. It's a shame you had to derail it with your snide remarks about the area.
-
Red Beastmaster has the best one for sure!! "Mourning Wood"! That's way too funny!!!!
-
Tooner,
If you recall, a few years back the DNR wanted to try APR in the NELP and the NRC gave them a Hunter Choice compromise out of the blue, because a minority of guys, like you, complained. In the last survey, it was 62% pro-APR and 38% anti. In Michigan, a vocal 38% rules if changes are to be made.
1000's of hunters in the NELP killed yearling spikes last year, 100% legally. If you want to call 3" an APR, so be it. In the NELP, any hunter can kill any buck over 3" spike, if they choose to do so.
The reason no APR survey was needed in the NELP before is because Hunter Choice isn't considered APR for all, so no survey is required. Do you remember the NELP APR survey a few years back? Of course you don't, there wasn't one because the NELP isn't a APR zone. Requiring a survey is the threshold. There can be no mandatory for all APR without a survey, under the current rules. And even then, at least 50% of all yearling bucks must be protected under APR rules. In the NELP under the HC rules, hunters are still killing lots of yearlings.
Geez, let it go. The minority has divided us enough. The OP wanted a nice name and you had to bring APR's into it. I was having fun with the history of the NLP and somehow you went into partisan APR mode. The minority won in the recent surveys, enjoy it! You can go on killing the spikes like I have in the picture, just like you always could in the NELP. Enjoy your victory and have an nice, complaint free season. Your 38% minority got what you wanted. Savor it.

Gotta Go!

I gave the OP what I thought were 4 very serious names before you decided to get your snide, immature digs in about the area.
" For lots of the NELP a good name may be "Spike Horn Acres" or "Barely Legal Lodge" and use a one antlered 3" spike as the mascot."
Apparently you meant nothing by that. My mistake. :rolleyes:

I don't know if you realize this or not, but Fred Bear's beloved "Grousehaven" was in the NELP (Ogemaw County).
Maybe you could tie in something about what he believed in regard to hunting. Here is one of my favorite Bear quotes:
"A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be."
How about something like:
Real Trophies Hunt Club
-
Yes, your mistake. No intention of being snide. Wasn't even on my radar. You'd know if I was being snide. LOL I was thinking of fun names for a hunting camp. Where my land is in the NLP has been notorious for having much smaller deer than the NELP. I wasn't digging, not remotely, because you guys have bigger deer and always have. I was having a fun laugh for most of us NLP hunters. Totally self depreciating humor.
Peace out...

Lots of these names are great. No matter what name we decide on for the lodge, were gonna name blinds, treestands, and areas some of these names.

How about "NDN Lodge".
Pronounced "Indian Lodge".
Stands for "No Damn Name Lodge".
-
I am in a similar situation with a piece of property I just bought. I was thinking "My Neck of the Woods', but I am big Silvertip fan and I might go with "Tip Em Over Lodge".
D.P.

I will add to the list.
Trad Gang Lodge
Timber Tines Lodge

Longbow Lodge
Winter Haven Lodge

And if you want to class it up a little how about "Cote De Foret"
It's French for "edge of the woods". Sounds like ( Coat Day For-ee) since the T is silent.
Just a thought :archer2:

"Brown N Down Bungaloo" If the pic earlier is indicative of the trophy quality of the area.

A lot of creative ideas here.
I like the suggestion to use something that relates to the area somehow. A prominent land feature, tree type, local name, etc.
Personally, I would suggest staying away from a name that indicates bow hunting only. I hope your plan to keep it archery only is successful. But some others that have tried that concept have eventually needed to open it up to other weapon types in order to stay in business and pay the bills. You're not likely to book a lot of bow hunters during rifle season. An archery only name paints yourself into a corner you might not want someday.
Good luck with the new venture! I hope it is successful beyond your dreams!
-
Good suggestion Whip
-
One of my dearly departed hunting buddies use to have a taxidermy business called 'Trails End Taxidermy' so as Elkin suggested I like Trails End Lodge.
Now if it were traditional only I'd suggest Tradhaven Lodge after our favorite Shrewhaven Lodge.
-
If you are so inclined, how about...

Agree with whip. Is it up by Lost Lake Woods? NOT to be a Grammar dork but the MOURNING Wood may want to be rethought
mourning
Use Mourning in a sentence
mourn·ing
[mawr-ning, mohr-] Show IPA
noun
1.
the act of a person who mourns; sorrowing or lamentation.
So unless they are sorrowful for their lack of wood sticking with Morning or Mornin would be better! :biglaugh:
-
Whip, you are right. I may have said archery only but that will be from october 1 thru january 1. As far as the rifle season goes it will be closed for that 2 weeks. But as far as the rest of the year, it is still a great place to stay. 50 minutes to the Macinaw bridge, Ocqeoc falls is 15 minutes away. The Presque Isle light house is cool.I am going up there memorial weekend to work on the archery range. I can't wait. I love it up there.
-
Maybe I should also say that during the Oct 1-Jan 1 they don't have to be a bowhunter, maybe you want to bring your wife or during the muzzle loader season you want to hunt the state land or maybe your a small game hunter. This would be fine. But the lodge will have a silent no gun smoke atmosphere where the only thing that you can shoot is bows. Anyone hunting on the private land of Tylers wont have to worry about a gun hunter of some sort molesting there hunt. There is miles of state land up there that goes un hunted for years.

I pourposly will run over an already dead skunk just to get the smell on my truck. I have asked my wife to wear skunk scent instead of perfume, she thinks I'm joking.
How about:
SKUNK HOLLOW

Stringfellow's Retreat
Brown-is-Down Lodge
Liar's Lair (maybe more for fishermen :>)

Memorial weekend we will decide on a name. I can't wait to go. We will also decide on price of rooms and how many per room. Things for us to consider is cost to heat during the hunting season vs don't need as much in the summer. (for example)
-
"Critter Getters"
"Critter Hideaway"
"Caveman Paradise"
"The Shack Out Back"
"The Out House"
"Tree Huggers"

I Know A Guy HIs name is Rideout . And his Camp is called Rideouts Hideout

When I have a place to call my own, it will be named:
Elysium
In Homer’s Odyssey, Elysium is described as a paradise: to the Elysian plain…where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.
I also like this quote taken from Gladiator:
Maximus: Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!
[Cavalry laughs]
Maximus: Brothers, what we do in life...echoes in eternity.
Good luck with the naming, hope it's an easy choice.
-
Keefer, I like the "Critter Getters"!!!!
-
"The Predator's Den"
"The Predator's Lair"

A friend of mine named his place Hopeuluk. He said that when he first bought the property a tenant had a young son who was wishing him success in an upcoming deer hunt. He said, "Hope you luck".
-
I will be up there in 4 days and we will decide on a name. You guys did a great job actually too good. Collectivly we will settle on one. I think it will come down to a few and we will draw it out of a hat. No were not going to name it "draw it out of a hat hunting lodge". We are going to use a lot of these names for hunting spots. Thanks again for all the response.
-
there you go. . Luck of the Draw
ChuckC
-
Big tines
Tall tines
Drop tines
Long fork
G5
Long rut
Whitetail
Piebald
Stick
Recurve
Just add ranch, prairie, mountain, lake or something after these to describe your geographical area
-
I think Chuck may have just inadvertently named it for you-Luck of the Draw Lodge. It's got luck and draw, as a play on words for drawing a bow. Plus, it seems where deer camps often work better when you draw names for who will hunt where on any given day, because over time, some guys get really possessive about "their spot". You'll get more enjoyment by always moving around.

Envision Harvest-time Lodge

Apex Predator Lodge

still like "Archer's Paradox" or "Paradox Outfitters'... being that paradox has a double meaning as well. an alternative to gun hunting...! I saw a lot of good names on here.... good luck!

Apex Predator Adventures

"Twangers"

What tribes are indigenous to the area?? What critters are native? Example three bears lodge? Ravens haven,black wolf, Gray whatever. Chief runamucks ridge, etc. Etc.

Hey Rat. You gonna be at Barryton?
For a name, how about" Bent Pole Lodge". Not very original, though.
-
We decided to go with "Full Draw Lodge". It was a tough choice, lots of cool names posted here. We didn't want any names that might bring thoughts of the movie friday the 13th such as assasination station, gut pile, etc as this might not appeal to your wife that wants to tag along. Some of the names listed insinuate that there might be trophy bucks all over but that would be a let down. Also didn't want to give it a name that implies that it is only for trad hunters as some trad hunters may want to go up there with a friend who uses a compound or maybe your a new trad archer that hasn't made the complete switch. So if you want to go to a place that has lots of deer, rabbits, grouse, etc "Full Draw Lodge" is a great place. It is also a great place to go for elk viewing, Ocqeoc falls, nearby fishing, snowmobiling (one of the major trails crosses the end of the drive way), mushrooming, the haunted Presque Isle light house, Mackinac bridge, or just relaxing.
-
Fine choice...
-
Thanks for picking my suggestion. Enjoy your hunting lodge.
-
What were your top 10?
-
That's a great name choice! I bet Fred Eichler would like it since his ranch is Full Draw Outfitters in CO.
