Y'all wouldn't need to spring for a thing. I'll bring my own.
(Might be Coors lite, though.   :D   )

Killy,
 That's a fine looking table you got there.  We do enjoy sampling whiskey. Basil Hayden just happened to be a bourbon that all agreed was smooth and tasty.  I brought a bottle of Jim Beam Black to camp and I believe somehow the cap got left off and the heat of the woodstove evaporated it before two days had gone by.  Roger is partial to Jameson's, but was mostly drinking Guiness draft and Mission Point specialty brew.

  We also didn't mention that Tim Cosgrove brought a couple of samples of his home brewed beer. One was an ale and the other stout. They were excellent!!!!  We told him next year he needs to bring more  :readit:  (so Killy you wouldn't have to bring Coors Light-as a brother in law once said to my mother in law when she asked if he'd like a Coors Light, he responded by saying 'naw, I was really kinda looking forward to having a beer).   So Roger is going to have Shrewhaven Stout t-shirts done up.  You can't get the beer, but you'll be able to get a t-shirt  :p  .

Good luck at your camp Killy.  I hope you have sucesses that make you as happy as we do each year.   :campfire:

My dad lived not far from the La Clair camp.  Officer Painter was a good friend of dads and stopped in often to visit.  While bear hunting in the UP Dave pulled in with a rookie officer and asked if we wanted any Michigan Moose meat. a semi struck one by the Brule river and he was on the way to deliver the meet to some needy folks.  Guess he thought dad was needy as he left us a back strap and a front shoulder.

Looks like a great camp and that you all had a good time.  thanks for posting.

Killy, that's a wonderful picture. It shows that you're a person with good taste.

   

There was a time that the boys in camp had a one track mind (see pic of camp liquor cabinet), we've since become a little more diversified....    :D  

Now Just in case some may think we're a bunch of whiskey sots, we only have a drink or two before supper and maybe a nightcap afterward.   :nono:   It's early to bed and early to rise for the serious hunters at camp Shrewhaven..

I am delayed a day due to weather and Mockingbird's work obligations. I am looking at all those poor dead soldiers in your rack.

Tsk, tsk.
I am packing Coors Light.
Sorry. I am weak.
I DO have some Opus X, though, thanks to Hayslope!!

Nice thread Ron. The pictures tells me, you and your friends have the spirt of the hunt. I too am getting to the age that I hunt only when I feel like it. I can tell you if I will hunt when my feet hit the floor in the morning. I love being in camp with the guys and will be there as long as my body will let me and I'm not to prod to be camp mother and cook.

If anybody was interested in buying stock in the distillery that crafts Basil Hayden (they make Bookers and Knob Creek too), do it on the first of October each year.    ;)    :laughing:

We have some new food plots on the property this year. They will be better next year for the deer, but the turkeys really like the new shoots that are coming up. I put my Hidden Hunter blind along the edge of one of the plots for a couple of days and every day I had turkeys in front of me. After the first time this happened, I tried to get an over the counter fall turkey permit but they were all sold out so I just had to sit and watch the birds..   :archer:
