Neat places guys.   Terry..how did the Musk Ox get its name?

[IndianaBowman]

DarkTimber! When I was in college (1983) I was hunting along the river bottom and heard some dogs barking. I figured they were running a deer as I had some trouble with wild dogs in the area before (killed several). I got ready thinking that I might get a shot if they ran the deer by me. Sure enough I hear something coming and I look and see something. I had no idea what it was as it was really big and had a huge mane on it. I thought "that's a muskox". It wasn't a muskox in Indiana. It was a HUGE buck with a tangle of vines and brush tangled in its rack from being pushed by dogs.  I didn't get the buck, but I did get one of the dogs. After the buch zoomed past I yelled at the dogs and they ran off. Iclimbed down and they came back. I shooed them away again. They came back a 3rd time and I yelled again. One raised its hackles and growled...wrong thing to do. A well placed arrow ended his deer chasing. That's why it's called the "Muskox Hunt Club".

Here's a picture of my parents cabin in SW Wisconsin.  We spend a lot of time here and have made a lot of good memories in these hills.

Here's a couple pictures of mine.   Haven't gotten much bow hunting in the last couple of seasons because I've spend most of my free time working on building it.  It's finally "finished" and It was nice to be able to enjoy my first hunt out of it this season.

I think we'll call it "The Hard Way Hideout".  It sits on the banks of the White River in the delta of Eastern Arkansas, right in the middle of more than 160,000 acres of National Wildlife Refuge that is some of the best deer and duck hunting in the state.

I've tried to build it out of mostly local materials.  The board and batten siding is Cypress which was cut just a few miles up river.  The interior walls are tongue and groove Southern Pine from South Arkansas and the floors are antique heart pine also from Arkansas.  

I've gotten a lot of inspiration and ideas while building it from this post.  I can't wait to start making memories here.

 

 

 


And finally, here is a pictures of the owner...I'm just the builder.

I love them all from the tent setups and very primitive to the nicest ones. I think it's the seclusion that attracts me most of all.

[Rick Butler]

Dark Timber that's very nice!  Do you have any interior pictures?  Would love to see the interior.

[Iron Man2]

Here is my place. I use to get to go only several times a year, however, now I have been full time. Lots of love and hard work. Almost all the timbers were cut from our lot and milled locally.                  

[BoonRoto]

Great thread! Many of us are very blessed!

Here is an outside view.

Rick...I don't have any interior pics right now but I'll be going down again shortly and will snap a few and post them up when I do.

Archie; That's what I call a cabin,

[Dave Pagel]

I hope to be taking pictures soon.  I just came to agreement on a hunting property in northern Michigan and there is a 450 square foot primitive cabin on it.  Back to hunting the big woods, I can't wait.

Some great pics of some really nice camps.

Up on the hill looking down on camp on family property in Western NY.  Looks like the gangs all in.

Haven't made it back for family and deer season in 4 years now, too long.
