It was a great time as always. Weather was WARM to start out. 75 degrees daytime high on the first day. That's not wool weather or condusive to bucks moving. 'Lil' Eric, who's not so little anymore, was super excited to bag his first buck. Being on a track at camp with the boys is always a great time. Pure elation on Eric's part. Lot's and lot's of does and fawns spotted, so the future is bright for the deer herd if Mother Nature is kind this winter.
Equipment high lights from camp include props to Trailmaker broadheads from Kustom King (OK, Tim Cosgrove, owner, is a camp member, however these heads get sharp and do the job. Eric hit that buck in the liver and it was down very quick.
The Northwooods blinds are incredible for anyone looking for a popup blind. Good camo, doesn't collapse in snow and it's super easy to set up.
Montana Pitch blend, this is an oldy but goody. Works on leather boots like a charm. I have a 25 year old pair of Cabela's Danner all leather boots and they are still kicking (every pun intended)and keeping my feet dry.
Ron LaClair's Shrew Hawk. It continues to amaze me how many times you grab for this, from reaching to hook something in the back of the truck that's just out of fingertip reach to making quick work of making a ground blind. Mine is going on five years now of tireless service.
Eagle's Rare bourbon. OK, we enjoy sipping on bourbon in camp and this is one that's 'a great value' for the price. About $30 here in Michigan, but compared to a $55 to $60 bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oak or Blanton's, it's a very good bourbon (not the same quality, but very good) for half the price.
Boiled dinner in camp. After 2 or 3 meals of red meats and potatoes, a good corned beef boiled dinner with carrots, potatoes, reutebega's and cabbage is second to none for keeping the system in check.
Roast black bear. You don't know what you're missing if you haven't had it cared for and prepared properly.
