show your traditional hunting cabin

[Bernard Bjorklund]

I think this is my favorite thread!  I really enjoy seeing other hunter's set-ups.  I even found my go-to place back on page 12 that my son Jay posted for me.  Keep them coming!

Shrewhaven Lodge.  A thirty year tradition on that property.  Our current cabin has been there for 20 years after being trucked in by semi truck. The cabin was a University of Michigan research quarters built in the 1930’s.  We purchased it for $3,000 and put a bunch of manual labor to reconfigure the inside (carefully removed closets and half walls to reuse original pine boards), put a metal roof on and relocate a classic wood stove that Ron LaClair had in his Archery Shoppe.  The outside of the cabin was scraped, rechinked and sealed (3 day, four man project). 
The investment of time and money was well worth it.

First off. Ron, what a great camp you have. That inside pix with the guys and the lamps etc should be made into a jig saw puzzle.

When I first moved to Alberta I had hoped to buy a parcel up north in Bear country and offer free hunts to fellow PBS members. Enter Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS) and that idea ended w the hunter host program. Which took a few years to refine. Now it's 1-2 friends/family every other year.

Well I eventually managed a nice property which we developed over 10 yrs. Cleared it and built everything on it myself except for one old shed a friend gave me. It was only 20 acres but located in the middle of another 600+ acres belonging to various neighbors who all allowed me to hunt right out my back door. 

While not exactly a cabin, it was my private little piece of heaven.

The house started off as a shop w a mobile home across the drive way from it. Eventually we added on and turned it into our Home.

Well I have no idea how that's happening. HELP! Preview is not working for me either.

The area we lived in has one of if not THE highest densities of Moose in Alberta. It was common to hear them coming from a "deer" stand by a neighbors fence wires being stretched as the clumsy buggers were trying to jump/cross over. When I guided for Ryk Visscher he used to tell clients on first day orientation that average good Moose habitat has 2-3 Moose per square mile. The area we hunted which included our property averaged 12-15 per square mile. I lived about 5 kms from a 25,000 acre+- bird sanctuary that allowed only deer hunting and Moose by draw.

Here's one more pix of the inside of my cabin as well.  Spend a fair amount of time staring at that wall and reliving the hunts the racks represent.

Looking for this one.

My son and I purchased two plots (total of 27.5 acres) of land over the last two years. Did the driveway, landing and captured two springs for water on first plot. Bought a RV that had more rot then we thought, so we’re just using the RV frame. Started the build this past fall. The cabin / trailer will be done by 2022 bow hunting season. The following summer planning a enclosed front porch. My son picked the color, I told my wife I wanted a cabin but got a barn. lol

Love that color phase bear?  Where did you get it?

Not mine but a friends families that they've had for 4 generations. One of my favorite places to spend time. Try to hunt out of it at least once a year.

Most of the family thinks it’s a lake home.
