Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Annual deer camp photo thread.

Hey Hey, i think i remember that place! since those there pics we added a covered porch across the whole front side there, no more mess outside anymore. got a deck across the whole front that we put in. Just put some screen and lattice around the decks the last few weeks ago here. Me and lestifer painted all the trim around the windows to match the roof, and painted the outhouse finally after that many years. We hung some boat cranks on the meat pole last night for cranking up the bucks, i tried to get les to try it out but he wasn't daring enough yet. still daylight. Going to mow it tonight i think and be done for the year now. Got some inside cleaning to do and we're good to go. thanks for posting dave!!

I am REALLY happy you had a great trip. If anyone deserves it, it's you.!!!!

Thanks TZone.
1st photo is view from front
2nd is important building to relieve once's self called the "Library"
3rd is view from the back door, when there is no cloud cover, Mt. Katahdin can be seen
4th is upstairs bunk room, sleeps 6 comfortable, more if needed
Last 2 are the types of woods your hunting, thick is an understatment but powerlines and clearcuts open the need for flatter shootin' cartridges

Deer camp 2010:

That's a nice piece of work Saddlering! You mentioned Northern Michigan. Hope you don't mind if I ask what general region were you hunting? (Not asking for any specifics)

Awesome tent, looks new?

That was the 4th time I've had it out (Utah rifle deer '09, Idaho bear May '10, Utah antelope September '10, Utah ML deer September '10).

There's a great looking set up...any pics of your interior?

Camp is a little simpler for me..

Our accomodations wuzn't always so civilized

oh yeah.. Me & the ole man did that up in the olympia mountains in the snow & rain lol!!

I'm still wet from that one 23 years later.

Did you work at Children's while it was still in Oakland? If so, you had a fellow campfire member within two city blocks of you for the past 5 years, pretty much.

Also, I whacked a doe Wednesday afternoon in your neck of the woods, sort of. T'was right behind Levin Furniture off of 22 just outside Monroeville.

At CHP for the last 20 some years. We probably passed each other on Forbes going to Peter's pub, Uncle Sam's, or anyone of the other joints to eat or have a brew.

Was that your truck parked along New Texas Road? At one time that was a hot spot for really big Bucks. Bob Kirschner arrowed some of his hogs about 6 miles from there.

Also at one time that would have got you arrested by the Monroeville police. Then some guy took them to court and it was ruled that the municipality had no right to pass a law that would obstruct ones right to legally hunt in a season legislated by the PGC. Prior to that it was necessary to sneak into that area or not park your vehicle within the boundaries of Monroeville or you would have an officer waiting for you when you came out.

Scorpion,

I hunt VERY VERY close to you in Monroeville!!! Seen alot of does so far, but no big bucks. I think the hot weather will shut the buck action down for a little while next week.

I won't hunt if its too hot - I'm waiting for the end of the month when the action will start to heat up. I don't want to blow out my "rut stands".


battue,

You still have to watch for the Monroeville cops - they will "assist" you back to your truck if you're caught hunting in that general area!! Believe me, I have been assisted!! No fines or write ups, but just told to get my truck & go home. Monroeville cops like to hunt those same areas we do!!

You boys are hunting those B&C Bucks!!!!




























(Borough and City)

Yes, professional courtesy has been even known to apply to hunting at night.

My buddies have a place off 115, between Caddy & Mesick, 3 of us droped down to my place on sunday, my buddie shot this one on sun. at dark! Near Big Rapiads

We call it "The Taj" located in western TN.

We hunt a steep, brushy, rocky island in the Pacific. The longest shot any of us has made there is 80 yards. Our average over the last 10-12 years is about 20 yards.

Getting There


Camp Kitchen


The Smoke of Many Bratwursts


The Council of Uncles


Doing The Dishes in Sea Water


Soup Is Good Food


Game Country. The open area in the foreground is atypical. My wide-angle lens makes it look bigger than it is, but the hunter is a 12-year-old, and he's about 40 yards away.
