Shrewhaven 2011 (pics)
« on: October 25, 2011, 11:36:00 AM »
Another great year at Shrewhaven bow camp is history. We went a little earlier this year. Instead of the 1st week in November we went the middle of October. The weather was much warmer than we've been accustom to but it was beautiful Indian summer none the less.

The 75 year old Tamarack log cabin was home for eight men for ten days. The gas lighted wood heated old cabin has a charming atmosphere that is soothing to the soul. The time went too fast.

I don't do much in camp, I hunt a little... eat a lot... sleep a lot... and the rest of the time I just stand around and tell everyone else what to do...    :archer:

We got a wonderful addition to camp this year. Thanks to Tim Crosgrove and his son in law Eric Bell we have a new Privy...and it's a HUM DANDY! They built it at home and hauled it to camp on a car hauler. Eric had an great idea and built an eaves trough with a down spout that pipes rain water down into the hole. Those that have outhouses in camp know the importance of putting plenty of water down the hole.

The main cabin has a large gathering room and a separate bunk room.  Last year we finished this new building near the main cabin. It has a small storage room on one end and the other side is a bunk room that I call my "Apartment", also know as "Lobo's Lair". It has gas heat and electricity powered by my Honda 3000 generator. It's well insulated and almost sound proof. I'm getting so that I can't stay up and jaw with the young guys late into the night anymore so now I just say goodnight and head off to my lair. I figure when a man gets my age he deserves some comforts...    :rolleyes:

By the weeks end eight hunters took ten deer. Wolves or coyotes got a buck that we decided to leave and track the next day so that would have made eleven.

That's my osage broken bow walking stick that I'm holding.

Here's one of the two deer that Ray Lyon took with his Super Shrew, cedar arrow and Trailmaker broadhead. A good number of the deer were taken with the Trailmaker broadhead this year.

Great picks Mr. Ron!  There is nothing like a good deer camp, good friends and meat on the pole!!!  

It is always fun to read about Shrewhaven.

We eat pretty darn good there too. Some of the meals consisted of, leg of lamb (two of them), Prime rib, venison back straps, deep fried walleye, froglegs, and cod, our annual squirrel supper, pork ribs,fried chicken and two days in a row Ray baked made from scratch apple pies...4 of them total. If you've never had Ray's apple pie, you haven't lived, they are the absolute best pies you'll ever wrap a lip around...    :eek:  He uses granny smith and mackintosh apples and they will melt in your mouth..   :jumper:
