First year for deer camp

[csi-tech]

This year I have 300 acres in Humphreys, a camper and two consecutive weeks off. I am going to have my wife drop me off with two weeks worth of food and clothing in addition to water, generator gas and other necessities. I will not call her until I have two whoppers on the ground. Wish me luck.

Good luck. We're doing the same this year only not being dropped off lol. First time in deer camp since I was a kid

Good luck. What part of Humphreys? My brother and parents live in Waverly.

I love being at deer camp. Sitting around the fire shooting the bull is one of the main parts of deer hunting I really look forward to.

I really miss that. Back home (in Michigan) we only had 2 weeks for firearm season. It was a long standing tradition to have deer camp- some date back into the early 1900's. Women were not allowed at camp until the second week. We ate better at camp then at home. We had a special card game called euchre we would play. Our camp was on state land. We would pull sometimes 6 or 7 campers into a small "pull around" with a firepit in the middle. Some just showed up to shoot the bull. Ours dated back to 1990. The local newspaper even came out and did a story on us lol. pathetic old run down campers. But we never missed it. Hunting was "ok", and we had a "buck stick" we would pass around to the person who killed the biggest while at camp. They got to keep it all year as bragging rights. I never won the stick lol...
Really miss those guys. Great tradition, kids were brought up right !

We shoot the bull but never shoot no deer... I had that audio tape and played it all the way to deer camp every year until audio tape players weren't in cars. I too hunted in Michigan 30 miles So. of Alpena at the end of a road next to a swamp in a cabin my grandpa built. I miss that camp but couldn't afford land in Michigan so I'm glad to be in TN where I can afford land and have a deer camp of our own.
