Who needs a tracking dog when you've got a guy like that around?  :biglaugh:
Great stories. I love reading this thread.

After a tricky crossing in the Brule's swift current the deer was soon back on the Michigan side

Tom's great at tracking and he's quite the evening story teller. He's essentially the historian of the Michigan Bow Hunters Association that included the likes of Fred Bear, Frank Scott, Floyd Eccleston, Nels Grumley. He's got a boatload of historical documents and information on MI's bow hunting history.  Quite a treat to have in camp.

The Brule was impassable this year.  With all the flooding rain from the weekend it had swollen to historic fall levels.

It was unseasonably warm this year. I spent several afternoons sitting on this wonderfully comfortable stump on the north side of Banana Ridge.

No deer, but not entirely unproductive

Nothing all that spectacular here, but for some reason this spot always captivates my attention. I sit here many mornings after the hunt is over and just speculate....

I take a picture of it every year, it hasn't changed much.

Sometimes we get a covering of snow and that always changes things.

Ray Lyon with a big doe. No worries about meat spoiling in this kind of weather.

     

   

Sometimes it just feels good to stay snug and warm in the cabin, here's Tim Cosgrove doing just that.

Billy,

I sent you a copy of the article that was published in TBM that I wrote a few years back.  It gives some history of our camp.  You can also use the search feature on Tradgang and pull up the threads from each year and get A LOT of history.  Hope that helps.

I'm curious as to why you only use it once per year. I'd be there several times each year.
