Dave, As always your stories are great. We have a camp in Eveleth, well Makinen actually. It is 40acres surrouded by state land, a lot of state land. The owner lives there but does not hunt. He was gracious enough to let a 12 year old kid come up and hunt 18 years ago and I have been going back ever since. He has no idea the impact he has had on me, so I applaud you on taking in the kid and mentoring him at probably his greatest time of need in his young life. Excellent job. You did not get too deep or too long in your post. You are talking about hunting....we could get much deeper and longer, that is why we are here.
My bro in law will be joining me for the first time this year. He too is my best friend and the closest I have and will ever have to a brother. We to are one in the way we think and it drives our wives crazy.(the best part) Good luck with your camp and the many memories it will bring.
