Deer Camps

[K.S.TRAPPER]

I think Kenny's place is pretty special and what he has done for a lot of different groups of bow hunters for many years now.

Nice cabin to stay in and plenty of deer to hunt if your willing to put a little into it. Tom Porter showing us some skills!!!

 

Comfortable cabin!

 

And time that goes by much to fast with good friends!

 

Yep, love deer camp

We also have a camp in the UP of michigan. Only 5-6 of us attending most years. Has been in a fifth wheel camper for years but am starting to look into purchacing a few acres and building a cabin to make deer camp easier.

My brother just picked up some land this year in NY. It will be a bows only property and this will be out first year there. It will be his 2 sons, him and me. Looking forward to it.

There is nothing like a good deer camp.  Although i do not have a good archery camp that I go to on an annual basis, I expect that to change...

Really glad to see so many carrying on the tradition.

Firearm or Archery really makes no difference in my eye, its all about the comraderie at camp, stories to be told over and over and many more stories yet to happen. That is part of what makes it soooo great!!!

Its especially needed these days more than ever, just to keep that flame alive!

I do a trad deer camp every year. Sometimes it is open to newcomers and sometimes it's just the original guys. We primitive camp and hunt with trad bows.

I had a lease for the previous 15yrs that I lost last year due to oilfield activity. It was just a 2-person lease, but me and my buddy spent a lot of time at that camp!

I just got on a new lease this summer, and have yet to meet anyone except the lease mgr so far. That should change in a few weeks once deer season gets going.

The life at hunting camp is a huge part of the whole experience!

I agree with Bisch. Bow hunting is generally a solo venture,but coming back to camp and sitting around with other trad guys is AWESOME!

We have had a bow camp since 1999, the first 10 years we traveled all over to hunt but the last 6 years we have been set up in beautiful Grayling Michigan! We have a nucleolus of 5 or 6 of us ole vets then every year we have a good group of newbies checking it out. We look forward to going to camp for the next year, the same day as we have to pack up for home the current year   :D

Michigan is great for having deer camps.  We started ours in the U.P. back in 72 with a small trailer and 83 acres.  My brothers and cousins are regulars there starting in October.  Over the years we have had some interesting guests come hunt the wilderness with us for deer and bear. We now have a wood cabin with running water and solar.

I go back to WV each year to hunt my cousins farm.  It's my father, myself, and a cousin that relocated to California 20 years ago.  I moved to the Carolinas 11 years ago - so to have the three of us together is a special time.  We stay at my aunt's house - so we aren't in a rustic camp, but the families all come too so we are strewn about on air matresses and sofas.  We hunt hard, eat a ton, and make great memories every year.  

My kids come with me for the first weekend of the trip (then back to school for them) and they have a blast roaming the farm and helping with the cattle and sheep.  They are 7 and 5 - I'm not sure who looks forward to our "hunting camp" more, me or my kiddos.  My wife loves deer meat too - it's a win all the way around!

That's my hunting camp since moving away - tons of memories.

Deer camp is typically my farm. Have a few friends and an uncle that come hunt random times throughout the season ... Within the past two years I have approached borderline hermit status ... And as the days and years progress I welcome the solitude more and more
